A wounded Yemeni anti-government protester is carried away by fellow demonstrators in Sana＇a March 18, 2011


Medical officials and witnesses say at least 20 people have been killed and more than 100 wounded in Yemen, where government loyalists opened fire on demonstrators at an anti-government protest in the capital, Sana＇a.

The incident took place after activists calling for an end to President Ali Abdullah Saleh＇s 32-year rule took to the streets following Friday prayers.

The violence follows clashes on Thursday, when at least 85 people were reported wounded after Yemeni security forces and government loyalists clashed with protesters.  

Yemenis angered by poverty, corruption and a lack of political freedoms began demonstrations earlier this year.

Saleh also faces a challenge to his authority from al-Qaida militants, who have based themselves in lawless parts of Yemen to plot attacks on the government and the West.
