BBC News - Yemen unrest: Further deaths in Sanaa clashes, Sep 19, 2011


Footage showed the wounded being carried away, and gun shots could be heard as tear gas was fired on protesters - Not all the video has been independently verified

At least 20 people have been killed by security forces in Yemen, doctors say, continuing a bloody crackdown on protesters that started on Sunday.

Snipers in Sanaa fired from rooftops at a protester camp, killing bystanders including a child, witnesses said.

And government forces have begun shelling areas held by soldiers loyal to the protesters.

The opposition has promised to carry on its campaign to oust President Ali Abdullah Saleh.

For months, thousands of people have been waging a campaign to depose Mr Saleh, who is currently in Saudi Arabia recovering from a bomb attack in June.
