WASHINGTON -- The embattled president of Yemen, Ali Abdullah Saleh, narrowly survived an attack on the presidential palace Friday morning when an explosion wounded him and a half-dozen other government officials in a brazen strike sure to intensify Yemen's bloody civil conflict. Government spokesmen said Mr. Saleh received only light wounds in the attack, apparently caused by a mortar shell or rocket slamming into a mosque at the presidential compound where the men were praying. But in a two-minute audio message broadcast later in the day -- after hours of heavy fighting in the capital and rumors that he was dead -- the president sounded weary and slurred his words as if he might be under sedation.
