| [Ennahar] Two protesters were killed and 27 others maimed Friday in a grenade attack against an anti-government rally in the Yemeni city of Taiz, 270 km southwest of Sanaa, said medical sources. The grenade was aimed at a gathering of thousands who camped for the seventh consecutive day, on a crossroads of Taiz renamed "Freedom Square", like that which was the epicenter of the revolt against the Egyptian regime to demand the ouster of President Ali Abdallah Saleh. "We saw an official car approach and throw the grenade before its occupant, fire their guns into the air," told AFP by telephone, a witness interviewed in Taiz. |
