Explosions and heavy gunfire shook Yemen’s capital overnight as shelling set ablaze the Yemenia Airways office close to the home of opposition tribal leader Sadiq al-Ahmar.
Fighting in Sana’a between President Ali Abdullah Saleh’s security forces and supporters of al-Ahmar, leader of the Hashid, Yemen’s most influential tribe, intensified as it continued into a fifth day after the breakdown of a truce mediated by tribal leaders.
