| Subject: Yemen poLICE storm sit-in site, murder protester Sat Mar 12, 2011 5:55 am | |
| Yemeni security forces stormed a square early Saturday where thousands of pro-democracy protesters have been camped out for the past month, firing tear gas and live ammunition during a pre-dawn raid that killed at least one person, doctors and witnesses said.
Television footage showed protesters overcome by tear gas lying in the central square in the capital, Sanaa, the site of a monthlong sit-in to demand the ouster of President Ali Abdullah Saleh. An ally in the Obama's administration's fight against al-Qaida, Saleh has been in power for 32 years.
Shortly after midnight, security troops surrounded the central square with police cars and armored personnel carriers and began calling on protesters through loudspeakers to go home. At 5 a.m., security forces stormed in, firing tear gas and live ammunition.
