WASHINGTON - Obama administration officials say Yemeni leader Ali Abdullah Saleh was more badly injured than thought in a rocket attack on his compound last week.<br />
<br />
Three U.S. officials say Saleh has burns covering some 40 percent of his body and is suffering from bleeding inside his skull.<br />
<br />
The U.S. officials spoke Tuesday on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.<br />
<br />
Information about Saleh's condition is circulating in Washington as the U.S. presses for him to leave power.<br />
<br />
On Monday, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton called for an "immediate transition" in Yemen. She said the country needs a process that "everyone knows is going to lead to the sort of economic and political reforms that they are seeking."<br />
<br />
Saleh is in Saudi Arabia receiving medical treatment.
