Sana'a: At least two
people were killed and up to 60 were injured Sunday in clashes
between Yemeni security forces and demonstrators in the southern
province of Taiz demanding the ouster of President Ali Abdullah
Saleh, eyewitnesses told Xinhua.
The clashes began when the protesters marched towards a police
station in Taiz demanding the release of some jailed
demonstrators, the eyewitnesses said.
Saleh has been president since 1978. A re-election in 2006 saw him
winning the elections yet again. However, amid widespread
protests, Saleh has said he would not run for president again in
2013.
