Security forces fire on Yemen protest, 3 dead
Yemeni forces fired at protesters blockading a government building on Monday, killing a shopkeeper and two protesters in a city that has seen some of the largest rallies against President Ali Abdullah Saleh, witnesses said.
At least 80 protesters were wounded when security forces, some in armoured vehicles, moved in to disperse the rally in the city of Taiz, south of the capital Sanaa. "A large force of police and army attacked protesters and then chased them in residential areas. They opened fire and used tear gas heavily," said Bushra al-Maqtari, an activist in Taiz. (Reuters)
