SANA'A, July 04 (Saba) – President Ali Abdullah Saleh received Saturday condolences from Arab and European leaders.

The cables were sent by Bahrain King Hamad Bin Eissa Al Khalifa, Tunisian President, Zain Al Abideen bin Ali and Spain's King Juan Carlos I.

The leaders offered their condolences for the victims of the Yemenia flight crash.

Saleh also received condolences from Vice President of the UAE, governor of Dubai Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

The Yemenia flight IY 626 crashed into the Indian Ocean last week with 153 people including a crew of 11 onboard.

Only a French teenage girl could survive the disaster, with few bodies and some pieces of the wreckage of the airplane have been recovered so far.
