SANA'A, May 20, 3012- Yemen's ex-president Ali Abdullah Saleh reportedly said that he entered to a local hospital in the Yemeni capital Sana'a, for medical examinations.

Al-Motamar.net website, the party of Yemen's former president, reported on Sunday that 69-year old Ali Abdullah Saleh has been admitted to a hospital for regular checkups and minor procedures.

The Sunday statement by the General People's Congress didn't provide further details or say to which hospital was Saleh admitted.

The embattled president of Yemen spent time in the United States and Saudi Arabia for medical treatment for burns he suffered during an assassination attempt in June.
