At least three demonstrators opposed to Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh, were killed Friday by police gunfire in the port city of Aden in southern Yemen, according to the Qatari television network Al Jazeera, explaining that there have been dozens injured. Witnesses quoted by the agency have reported violent clashes between protesters and security forces.
Earlier, violence erupted in the city of Taiz, 270 km south of Sana'a, the capital. There, the throwing of a grenade into a crowd protesting against the government has caused two deaths and 27 injuries, according to the latest tally given by medical sources. Opposition sources and witnesses say a car went by where there were demonstrators and one of the passengers threw the explosive through the window.
The attack took place in the plaza Hurriya (freedom), where protesters have camped days, and even there it has moved several ambulances. At another point not far from the city the dictator's supporters have focused Saleh to express loyalty to their leader. Protesters have accused the government of what happened and have said they will not leave the square.
"It's a shame that the Government will resort to these tactics criminals, but not scare the demonstrators," he assured one of them.
