Eight killed in fighting between Yemeni forces, Saleh loyalists in Sana’a
Eight people have been killed in clashes between Yemeni forces and armed men loyal to ousted dictator Ali Abdullah Saleh in the capital, Sana’a.
The fighting erupted near the Interior Ministry on Monday night, when some 300 gunmen wearing security uniforms broke into the ministry building, a police official said on Tuesday.
Witnesses have also heard explosions in the area.
On Sunday, Saleh loyalists took a number of Interior Ministry employees hostage, but released them shortly afterward.
