    Yemen deal off as Saleh fails to sign

    A deal for Yemen's veteran leader to hand over power and end unrest
    looks in doubt after President Ali Abdullah Saleh failed to sign it.

    He had been expected to add his signature on April 30 after his
    officials said the deal brokered by Gulf Arab states had been
    accepted.

    Mr Saleh reportedly said he would only sign the agreement in his
    capacity as head of the ruling party.

    Opposition spokesmen insist he must sign as president.

    The Gulf states' mediator, Abdul-Latif al-Zayyani, is now believed to
    have left the capital, Sanaa, BBC reported.
