Clashes in Yemen capital, window closing for talks

Explosions rocked the Yemeni capital Sanaa and clashes between government forces and soldiers backing protesters resumed on Thursday with time running low for a diplomatic solution to prevent the country from sliding into full-blown civil war.

Another anti-government demonstrator was shot dead and at least eight wounded by snipers just off "Change Square", where activists have camped out for eight months demanding an end to President Ali Abdullah Saleh's 33-year rule.

A ceasefire called by Yemen's vice president and acting leader earlier this week failed to hold for more than a few hours, lending greater urgency to diplomacy to end the bloodshed, which has killed some 86 people in five days.
