Troops loyal to Yemen's Ali Abdullah Saleh have killed a 10-year-old girl and injured five others after violence between regime forces and anti-government protesters erupted in the southern city of Taiz. Pro-Saleh troops had from Friday night to Saturday noon fired artillery shells at the protesters, dpa reported.
Scores of protesters gathered in the streets of Taizz on Saturday to condemn the attacks. They chanted “The Yemenis voice is one: we will bring corrupt Saleh to justice.”
