Yemenis Stage Massive Anti-Gov't Protest 
-----------------------------------------



In Yemen, tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets
nationwide today in one of the largest anti-government protests so far.
The rallies come one day after U.S.-backed Yemeni President Ali Abdullah
Saleh attempted to quell the unrest by proposing a new constitution, an
offer the opposition immediately rejected.
