Anti-government protesters shout slogans during a demonstration demanding the ouster of Yemen＇s President Ali Abdullah Saleh, in the southern city of Taiz April 12, 2011


Yemeni security forces clashed with a rogue army unit in the the capital, Sanaa, leaving one person dead and several injured.

Witnesses say forces loyal to President Ali Abdullah Saleh fired rocket-propelled grenades at soldiers manning a military checkpoint set up on a road leading to the main protest area.

Sources say the rogue unit, led by defected army general Ali Mohsen, traded fire with the soldiers. At least four people were injured.

Meanwhile in the southern port town of Aden, witnesses and medical officials say at least one person was killed and several injured when security forces opened fire at anti-government protesters. Officials say the protesters were throwing rocks at police as they attempted to remove roadblocks in the city.

Clashes between Yemeni security forces and opposition activists have killed more than 100 people since the protests began two months ago.

On Monday, opposition leaders rejected a proposal from the Gulf Cooperation Council that called for President Saleh to transfer powers to a vice president. The opposition said it turned down the plan because it protected the president and his family from prosecution.

President Saleh had indicated he was willing to accept the offer. He had previously offered to end his 32-year rule, but only after new elections are held.
