Yemeni Police Attack Protesters in Sanaa 
-----------------------------------------



In Yemen, the government of U.S.-backed President Ali Abdullah Saleh is
escalating a crackdown on opposition protests. On Tuesday, at least
fifty people were wounded in the capital Sanaa after police opened fire
on demonstrators attempting to join a pro-democracy encampment on a
university campus. Four of the injured were left in critical condition.
At least 27 people have been killed since protests erupted against Saleh
last month.
