Yemeni security forces and unidentified snipers opened fire at a protest in Sanaa after Muslim prayers Friday, killing at least 30 people and wounding 200 others, medical sources and witnesses told Reuters. Security forces at first fired into the air to prevent anti-government protesters from marching after prayers from their headquarters at Sanaa University. After the initial gunfire, the shooting continued and the toll mounted. It was not immediately clear who was responsible for the deaths. Tens of thousands of Yemenis had gathered in Sanaa for competing prayers and protests as businessmen floated a proposal to end a standoff between President Ali Abdullah Saleh and protesters demanding he step down immediately. Protesters accused plainclothes snipers of firing from rooftops, and added they had detained several of the gunmen. Reuetrs |
