SANAA, Yemen – A Yemeni doctor says nine protesters have been killed and some
100 wounded when security forces opened fire on an anti-government demonstration
in the Yemeni capital.
Mohammed al-Ibahi, a doctor at the scene of the shooting in a square in Sanaa, said many of the dead and wounded suffered gunshot wounds to the head and torso.
The protest on Wednesday is the latest in a wave of massive demonstrations demanding the ouster of longtime president Ali Abdullah Saleh, Yemen's leader of 32 years.
The deadly clash Wednesday is likely to further fuel the two-month, anti-regime protests. AP
