Yemen’s Prime Minister Ali Muhammad Mujawar returned home on Tuesday after he had received treatment in Saudi Arabia for injuries he suffered in an assassination attempt that targeted President Saleh and his aides in June.

Landing at Sana’a International Airport, Mujawar told Saba that the health conditions of other Saleh’s aids, 87, are getting better and that they will come back soon. He arrived along with the body of Shura Chairman Abdul Aziz Abdul Ghani who died of injuries the prior day.

President Saleh is convalescing in Saudi capital Riyadh after he underwent nine surgeries for burns suffered in the assassination attempt which coincided with escalating protests seeking the ouster of the regime. In his latest speech, Saleh said he would come back home and attacked the opposition and the youth-led revolution.

The president is facing mounting external pressure to sign a GCC-brokered power transition deal and not to return home.
