Street clashes resume in Yemeni capital

Clashes have resumed on the streets of the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, a day after at least 26 anti-government protesters were shot dead and hundreds wounded by troops and gunmen loyal to President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
According to reports, at least six people were killed in fresh violence on Monday, as snipers fired upon passers-by and peaceful protesters demonstrating at Chance Square.
"Help me, oh my God look at his slaughter!" said the father of a boy who died from a gunshot wound to the head.
"We were just in the car on Hayel Street (near the fighting). I stepped out to get some food and left my two boys in the car and I heard the older one scream. The little one was shot straight through the head."
The clashes came as protesters tried to push further into territory held by government forces after extending their camp overnight.
The opposition had earlier vowed to press ahead with demonstrations despite Sunday's crackdown.
Meanwhile, Abdu al-Janadi, Yemen's deputy information minister, rejected accusations that the regime had planned attacks on the protesters and accused what he described as "unknown assailants" of carrying out the acts.
"This attack was prepared so as to kill as many people as they could. ... This is a plot against all the Yemeni people," al-Janadai told a British television station.
