Pro-Saleh Troops Fire Shells on Yemen Capital, Opposition Says

Troops loyal to Yemen’s outgoing president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, fired shells on the capital of Sana’a, wounding at least three people, according to opposition forces.

Troops led by Saleh’s son Ahmed yesterday fired 10 shells, including four on the headquarters of an army division that defected to the uprising against Saleh in March, the division said in an e-mailed statement. The wounded included a female student at Sana’a University, which was hit in the attack, the army division said in the statement.
