Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh will head to the US in the next two months, reported the official Saba news agency on Thursday. 

The agency said that the visit comes at the invitation extended by US President George W. Bush to Saleh, adding that the two leaders will discuss bilateral relations and regional issues. 

Both countries are closely cooperating in investigations related to a terrorist attack on US Cole in Aden port in October last year. 17 American servicemen were killed in the attack. 

The two presidents have spoken on the phone lately to discuss progress in the investigations – Albawaba.com
