Yesterday, Al Jazeera Arabic reported that Yemeni President Ali Abudallah Saleh's grandson Kanaan requested political asylum in the US and transfer his grandfather's assets in his name, including investments, real estate.
He became today part of the crop of freshly minted new diplomats of the Yemeni embassy in Washington D.C.

well, that is old news my friend. Yemeni embassy in DC stated that Kanan's request for asylum was baseless. Please note that families of ALL presidents especially from the middle east enjoy diplomatic immunities.
ReplyDeleteKanan, and president's son appeared on Yemeni N=national TV some days ago.
