Yemen's President Ali Abdullah Saleh on Sunday left for the United States after asking his people for forgiveness for "any shortcomings" during his 33-year rule, reported the Yemeni news website Mareb Press.

Saleh left on a private Saudi plane a few hours after his family's departure, the website quoted an unidentified source at Sana'a airport as saying, DPA reported.

There was no immediate official confirmation of the report.

Saleh said earlier Sunday he would leave for the United States for medical treatment, state news agency SABA reported.
