SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Thousands protested in Yemen for a fourth straight day Monday, demanding political reforms and the ouster of the US-allied president in demonstrations inspired by the upheaval in Egypt.
Government backers armed with broken bottles, daggers and rocks chased down thousands of pro-reform demonstrators in Yemen's capital on Monday, turning unrest inspired by Egypt's uprising increasingly violent.
Police who had been trying to keep the sides apart locked several thousand fleeing protesters inside the Sanaa University campus near where they were rallying to stem the bloodshed. Five people were wounded in the melee, an opposition source said.
