Clashes in Yemen kill 17, injure 50
Pro-government snipers firing from rooftops in Yemen's capital killed three people in a crowd of protesters demanding the removal of President Ali Abdullah Saleh, on Monday witnesses said, in escalating violence that has shattered an uneasy stalemate.  

At least 17 people were killed, including a child, and 50 injured on Monday as Yemeni government forces clashed with protesters, according to medical sources.  

"We have seen gunshot wounds, some were from heavier weapons like RPGs (rocket-propelled grenades)," said Dr. Mohammed al-Qubati at a field hospital in the Yemeni capital.   

"I keep hearing the shelling and thinking there will only be more coming".
