Clashes Continue in Yemeni Capital 
-----------------------------------



Violence continues to engulf the Yemeni capital of Sanaa in the ongoing
standoff over President Ali Abdullah Saleh's refusal to step down.
Yemeni forces reportedly fired on crowds of protesters today following
an earlier round of shootings on Thursday. Street battles meanwhile are
continuing between Saleh's forces and anti-government tribal groups. At
least 135 people have been killed in Sanaa in the past ten days.
