Yemeni Gov't Rejects Transition Talks 
--------------------------------------



Thousands of Yemeni protesters gathered outside the home of the
nation’s vice president Tuesday after the government rejected a
proposal for a political transition. Yemeni officials appear to have
ruled out coming to any agreements until President Ali Abdullah Saleh
returns. Saleh was taken to Saudi Arabia over the weekend to receive
medical care for wounds suffered in a rocket attack on his compound.
