Yemen: Police fire on protesters, atleast 100 injured

Police on rooftops fired live bullets and tear gas at protesters Sunday, injuring more than 100 people who were camping near Sanaa University, the latest in weeks of demonstrations calling for the Yemeni president to step down.

 

Wielding clubs and knives, police and government supporters also attacked protesters on the ground, said Mohammed al-Abahi, a doctor in charge of a makeshift hospital near the university. Among the injured, more than 20 suffered gas inhalation, and one was in critical condition after being struck with a bullet, the doctor said. (AP)
