SANAA, Apr 30, 2011 (Reuters) - Discussions are still underway in Yemen on whether President Ali Abdullah Saleh will sign a transition deal that would see him cede power within a month or leave ratification to the ruling party, a government official said on Saturday.

"There is discussion on the matter at the moment," the official told Reuters. The discussion centered on whether Saleh would sign at all and, if so, in what capacity.
