IBTimes: Mixed reports emerge over death of Yemen's former president Ali Abdullah Saleh
There are reports that say Saleh's house was blown up by Houthi rebels in central Sana'a amid the ongoing conflict.
Yemen's former president Ali Abdullah Saleh has reportedly been killed in a bomb blast that decimated his home in the country's conflict-torn capital Sana'a. Though there is no confirmation of his death as yet, multiple reports and social media posts from the region hint that he was killed in the attack. However, Saleh's party has rejected the news about his death and said he is safe amid the rumours.
The Reuters news agency, citing residents in central Sana'a, said Saleh's whereabouts are still unknown but that rumours have begun to swirl that he is dead. Reports from Iranian media also said Saleh was killed when he was trying to flee the capital.
Saleh's reported death comes just hours after he formally broke the alliance with the Iran-backed Houthi rebels, his former allies in the lengthy war against the Saudi Arabia-led coalition in the nation.
