At least 15 Yemenis killed as Saleh’s loyalist forces shell southern city of Taez

Yemeni forces killed 15 people and wounded dozens when they shelled the southern city of Taez with mortars and artillery, hitting a hospital and a square where anti-government demonstrators were taking part in the Muslim Friday prayers, Al Arabiya reported citing activists.

Security forces loyal to embattled President Ali Abdullah Saleh started shortly after midnight to shell areas around Freedom Square, where demonstrators hold rallies against the regime, witnesses told AFP.

“A total of 15 civilians were killed, including three children and three women,” a medic source, adding that 12 women were among 40 wounded.   More
