President Saleh has gone to Saudi Arabia after being injured in a rocket attack on a mosque inside the presidential compound on Friday.

It appears the injuries are not life-threatening - sources in Saudi Arabia said he walked off the plane although wounds to his head, face and neck were clearly visible.

However, members of his family, including his wife, have travelled with him. In fact he is reported to be accompanied by 35 relatives, as well as the prime minister and the Speaker of the Yemeni parliament.

Emerson's thoughts:

BBC's Jon Leyne examines the Yemeni leader's future.

"For 33 years, the Yemeni leader Ali Abdullah Saleh has been the great survivor. But everything suggests that his visit to Saudi Arabia for medical treatment will be a one-way trip."
