Yemeni Forces Fire on Demonstrators 
------------------------------------



Doctors in the Yemeni capital of Sana'a say at least 22 people were
wounded Sunday when government forces loyal to President Ali Abdullah
Saleh fired on pro-democracy protesters. The crackdown came just one day
after thousands of women took to the streets to protest a claim by Saleh
that demonstrators are violating Islamic law because they are allowing
women and men to mix.
