None

Four protesters were killed in clashes with police in southern Yemen on Thursday as unrest spread and demonstrators called for an end to President Ali Abdullah Saleh's three decades of rule.

 

In a seventh straight day of protests inspired by revolts in Tunisia and Egypt, 3,000 marched in the southern port of Aden and police shot in the air to disperse the crowd. Officials at two Aden hospitals told Reuters three men died of gunshot wounds after clashes with police. (Reuters)
