Sana'a: Police shot
dead at least 10 anti-government protesters Monday in Yemen's
southern province of Taiz, Xinhua quoted local doctors as saying.
However, a police official said only two protesters were killed.
According to the head of the makeshift hospital of the Liberation
Square in Taiz, some 200 km south of the capital Sana'a, the doctors
received 10 protesters who died of gunshots from police snipers and
dozens of others injured by live bullets.
The doctor in Taiz said the police snipers intercepted the march of
thousands of young protesters who were demanding an immediate end to
the 33-year rule of President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Tens of protesters attempted to storm the provincial government
building and the police forces confronted them with force to end the
demonstration, Xinhua quoted a provincial police official as saying.
"Only two protesters were killed and some others were injured," the
official said, requesting anonymity.
