Yemen officials: 38 killed in capital fighting

None

Fighters from Yemen's most powerful tribes fired on government buildings and soldiers retaliated with intense shelling Tuesday, killing 38 on both sides, as the uprising against President Ali Abdullah Saleh threatened to become a militia-led revolt after street protests and Arab mediation failed.

 

Medical officials said 24 tribesmen were killed, Government officials put the death toll among soldiers at 14, and 20 were missing. (AP)
