Fierce fighting erupts in Yemen

22 Killed; drone kills top Qaeda leaders

All’, Sanaa
At least 22 people were killed yesterday as Yemeni police opened fire on protesters and rival tribes clashed in Sanaa, while a suspected US air raid took out nine, including top al-Qaeda leaders.
Police shot dead 12 people and injured dozens as they opened fire on demonstrators in Sanaa demanding President Ali Abdullah Saleh's resignation, medics said.
And barely two weeks after a drone killed US-born jihadist cleric Anwar al-Awlaqi, a suspected US air strike killed Friday a raft of top al-Qaeda leaders, including the media chief of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, Egyptian Ibrahim al-Banna'a.
The son of Awlaqi, Abderrahman, 21, was also among the nine dead in the strikes that hit the militant-held town of Azzan in Shabwa, a member of Awlaqi's tribe said.
Also killed was Sarhan al-Qussa'a,
brother of Fahd al-Qussa'a, a leader of AQAR who was on a US wanted list, the Awlaqi tribesman said.
But last month, The Washington Post reported that the United States was building an array of secret new drone bases to strike al-Qaeda targets in Yemen and Somalia.
In Sanaa, security forces used live rounds as well as tear gas and water cannon to try to disperse hundreds of thousands of Saleh opponents trying to march on loyalist areas of the city centre from their Change Square stronghold, killing 12 people, witnesses and medics said.
Doctor Mohammed al-Qubati, the coordinator at a field hospital in the square, said two bodies were brought to the facility, and many others wounded, including at least 30 hit by gunfire, while 10 were in serious condition.
The clashes erupted on Al-Zubeiri Street which marks the dividing line between parts of Sanaa held by troops loyal to Saleh and those held by dissi-
dent units under the command of General Ali Mohsen Al-Ahmar, who rallied to the opposition in March.
Activists had called on protesters to march on the front lines yesterday in a bid to bring to a head 10 months of increasingly bloody demonstrations against Saleh's 33-year rule in Sanaa.
The veteran president has refused to step down despite increasingly strident calls for his departure from both Western governments and impoverished Yemen's wealthy Arab neighbours in the Gulf.
According to a letter from Yemen's youth movement sent to the United Nations earlier this month, at least 861 people have been killed and 25,000 wounded since mass protests erupted across the country.
Also in northern Sanaa, 10 gunmen from the Hashid tribe which has sided with protesters against Saleh were killed in clashes with tribes loyal to the embattled president, a tribal source said.
