Ali Abdullah Saleh, president of Yemen, arrived at an undisclosed location in the U.S. for treatment for burns he suffered from an explosion in his palace mosque. Saleh has been accused of using violence to stay in power and has been the cause for numerous violent protests. U.S. officials have pressured him to leave Yemen for good and allowed him into America in an effort to ease the political transition occuring in Yemen and to hopefully decrease violence as the country prepares to elect a new leader in February.
