Yemeni Protestors Detain AL Chief, US, EU, British Ambassadors http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=9003022093

The US and British envoys to Sana'a as well as the EU representative and Secretary-General of the Arab League Abdullatif Al-Zayani were arrested and incarcerated by the wrathful Yemeni demonstrators on Sunday. Bahrain's state news agency (BNA) quoted unnamed sources as saying that protestors who demanded the ouster of Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh had arrested the US, EU and British envoys as well as the AL secretary-general. 

The sources who asked to remain unnamed also said that protestors became angry after they realized that Saleh had refused the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council (PGCC) proposal for the settlement of the crisis in Yemen, and that the PGCC proposal had only meant to buy time for the embattled Saleh.The six PGCC members are due to hold a meeting in Riyadh on Monday to review the situation in Yemen. 

Despite intense diplomatic pressure from Yemen's Persian Gulf Arab neighbors and Western mediators, Saleh rejected a deal to step down that would have given him immunity from prosecution. The mediators were hoping to bring an end to violence in which more than 170 Yemeni demonstrators have been killed. It was the third time an agreement for him to leave after 33 years in power fell through in the last minute.
