Yemen protests paralyze 2 cities, police kill two
Yemeni security forces killed two protesters and wounded dozens on Wednesday as mass rallies demanding the ouster of President Ali Abdullah Saleh paralysed two major cities on Wednesday, residents and medics said.
Snipers shot dead two demonstrators in Taiz as unrest running into a third day shut down Yemen's main industrial city. Dozens were wounded by gunfire, tear gas, and beatings by plainclothes agents wielding bats, medics in Taiz said. Protesters retaliated by torching a police building, residents said. (Reuters)
