Security forces and supporters of Yemen's President Ali Abdullah Saleh shot dead nine protesters on Saturday, as he said he would soon visit the US ahead of transferring power in February. Scores of demonstrators, who demanded Saleh face trial, were also wounded when tear gas and water cannons were used against them, AFP reported.
Speaking in Sana'a, Saleh said he will travel to the United States in the coming days: "Not for treatment, because I am well, but in order to create favorable conditions... for the presidential election," set for February 21.
