Yemen President Accepts Plan to Step Down, Security Forces Continue Crackdown 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Yemen’s longtime president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, has reportedly
accepted a plan designed by neighboring Arab nations to hand over power.
But demonstrations are continuing because many people do not believe
Saleh will keep his promise. Earlier today, at least 10 people were
injured in the Yemeni city of Taiz after security forces opened fire.
