IN THE WORLD

North Yemen's pro-Western parliament on Monday approved a plan by President Ali Abdullah Saleh to merge Tuesday with socialist South Yemen, official radio reports in North Yemen said. A united Yemen would be the second such union between two Arab states in this century. In the 1950s, Egypt and Syria joined as the United Arab Republic, but the merger collapsed after three years.
