Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh ordered a probe after his loyalists killed five people in Sanaa.
SANAA:
Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh ordered a probe after his loyalists killed five people in Sanaa on Thursday, a day after he signed a deal to immediately hand all “necessary” powers to his deputy. Saleh, condemning the violence, “ordered the interior ministry to carry out a full investigation” and “bring those responsible for this crime to justice, whatever party they belong to,” the state Saba news agency reported. He signed a Gulf-brokered deal on Wednesday under which he was to hand all “necessary constitutional powers” to Vice President Abdrabuh Mansur Hadi.
