Yemen's Ali Abdullah Saleh has said he will leave power in the near future.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Saleh returned to the country from Saudi Arabia on September 23, where he was receiving treatment for injuries received in a June 3 rocket attack on the presidential palace.

The 69-year-old has repeatedly refused to sign a power transfer deal brokered by the (Persian) Gulf Cooperation Council, according to which he would hand over power to Vice President Abdrabuh Mansur Hadi in return for immunity from prosecution.
