SANAA, Yemen, May 21 (UPI) -- Deposed Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh was hospitalized for tests on injuries suffered in a 2011 bomb attack, his political party's newspaper reported. Al Motamar, the newspaper of the General People's Congress, said Sunday Saleh underwent followup "checkups and minor procedures" in Sanaa. In June 2011, Saleh was severely hurt in a bomb blast that forced him to travel for treatment to Saudi Arabia, where he underwent eight surgeries. Saleh still suffers from the injuries he received in last June's bomb attack against his presidential compound. He needs regular medical care," a member of the GPC told Yemen Today.
