PM's office denies Reuters reports on calling on President to leave

SANA'A, Jan. 19 (Saba) - An official source at the Prime Minister's office denied on Thursday reports of Reuters that he had called on President Ali Abdullah Saleh to leave the country before holding the early presidential elections on February 21.

He said that Prime Minister Mohammed Salem Basindwa answered a question of Reuters's correspondent about the President's travel to the United States or not, saying "What is being reported that the President will travel to the U.S.".

The source urged Reuters to seek accuracy in reporting and to translate literally the content of the Premier's answer.
