Yemen\u2019s Interior Ministry issued a statement confirming the death of the country’s ousted president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, during clashes in capital Sana’a.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

\n\tThe radio station of Yemen had said on Monday the ex-president was killed as fighting racked the capital though there was no independent confirmation.<\/p>\n

\n\tFootage circulated by Yemeni social media users appeared to a show corpse resembling Saleh. Armed militiamen unfurled a blanket containing the corpse and shouted, \u201cpraised God!\u201d and \u201chey Ali Affash!\u201d, another last name for Saleh, Reuters reported.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe radio station said the official Houthi TV station would soon broadcast footage of Saleh\u2019s dead body.<\/p>\n

\n\tSaleh\u2019s party had denied to Reuters that their leader had been killed and said he was still leading forces in heavy fighting in Sana\u2019a that has killed at least 125 people and wounded 238 in six days, according to the International Committee of the Red Cross.<\/p>\n

\n\tHis whereabouts were unknown and he has made no public appearances since the reports of his death surfaced.<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to Press TV, the Interior Ministry further said in its statement that Saleh had been creating \u201cchaos\u201d in the country through cooperating with \u201cmilitias of aggression\u201d and by providing help to \u201cextremist militias.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe ministry added that the Yemeni forces, backed by fighters from the popular Ansarullah Houthi movement, were in full control of all positions previously held by Saleh\u2019s militias in Sana\u2019a.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe statement also noted that conflicts, which had plagued Sana\u2019a during past days, were actually over after death of Saleh.<\/p>\n

\n\t“The Interior Ministry announces the end of the crisis of the treason militia and the killing of its leader and a number on his criminal partisans,” it added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
