Gunmen loyal to Yemen's embattled President Ali Abdullah Saleh shot dead three demonstrators in the southern town of Al-Bayda on Thursday, witnesses and protest organisers said.
Armed men on the roof of the ruling party's headquarters in Al-Bayda, 210 kilometres (130 miles) southeast of Sanaa, opened fire at demonstrators who had been tearing-up posters of Saleh, the witnesses and protesters said. They said three demonstrators were killed and seven others were wounded.
