Outgoing President Ali Abdullah Saleh of Yemen has departed the country he has ruled for 33 years, and is making his way to the U.S. for "medical treatment."
At least some U.S. officials say the military got 'played' when it acted on local intelligence to conduct a drone strike in Yemen last year, killing not a terrorist but a political rival of Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
President Ali Abdullah Saleh is planning to seek medical treatment in the U.S. after ceding power to a new unity government, a spokesman says.
Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh has officially stepped down, signed over a transfer of power agreement and landed himself a nice deal in the process--possibly avoiding the fate of overthrown Arab dictators before him.
