Yemeni army kills 20 protesters in Taiz...

Yemeni forces loyal to President Ali Abdullah Saleh have shot dead at least 20 people and wounded hundreds more when they opened fire on protesters in the second-largest city of Taiz, sources said.

A Reuters photographer at the scene on Sunday said police fired live ammunition, tear gas and used water cannons to disperse demonstrators protesting outside a municipal building.

"At least 20 protesters have been killed," a protest organiser told AFP.

The demonstrators in the southern city had been demanding the release of a fellow protester who was arrested on May 28. More + video...
