2 Killed in Yemen Protests
Navideshahed: A 10 year old girl was killed on Saturday and five others injured after clashes erupted between regime forces and anti-government protesters in the flashpoint city of Taizz.
A medical student was also shot dead near a checkpoint in the capital Sana'a after his car came under attack from soldiers guarding the presidential palace.
Meanwhile, army defectors said they had foiled an attempt to kill General Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar, who defected in March to join the popular revolt in Yemen. They said remote-controlled explosives were found inside a vehicle parked near al-Ahmar's office.
Pro-Saleh troops pounded the revolutionaries with artillery shells from Friday night to Saturday noon.
Scores of protesters took to the streets of Taizz on Saturday to condemn the attacks. “The Yemenis voice is one: we will bring corrupt Saleh to justice,”? they chanted.
On Thursday, regime troops killed at least 19 Yemenis in the capital, Sana'a, as well as the second largest city of Taizz.
The End
