Rival Protesters Battle in Yemen

Rival Protesters Battle in Yemen - WSJ.com: "Thousands of antigovernment protesters in Yemen squared off with supporters of President Ali Abdullah Saleh in violent clashes at a main intersection in the capital San'a Thursday, according to eyewitnesses, the latest and most raucous in a series of daily melees there.

Uniformed security forces weren't in the vicinity during the scuffles, in which protesters tore down a median barricade between the two sides and clashed with sticks, clubs, chains and makeshift weapons, including desk legs and pipes. Occasional shots rang out from guns fired into the air, but there were no reports of fatalities."
