Yemeni troops kill at least 10 in Taez
2011-11-11
Al Arabiya has reported that forces currently loyal to Yemen's President, Abdullah Saleh, shelled the country's second largest city Taez early on Friday, killing 10 people, among them three women and a child.

Earlier, reports from AFP quoted a medical source saying that "the bombing killed nine people this morning (Friday), all of them civilians."

Security forces began operations in the Freedom Square area shortly after midnight, where demonstrators had rallied to call for the regime to fall.

On Thursday, one man was killed and nine other people were injured in Taez. Witnesses said Republican Guard troops, commanded by Saleh's son Ahmed, fired artillery into the centre of Taez where tens of thousands of protesters were calling for Saleh's prosecution.
