Demonstrators took to the streets in Iran, Yemen and Bahrain on Monday, inspired by the anti-government revolts that toppled the regimes in Tunisia and Egypt over the last month.
At least 17 protesters were wounded and up to 165 others were arrested Monday in clashes between anti- government demonstrators and the police and paramilitary forces in Yemen's capital Sanaa and the southern province of Taiz, witnesses told Xinhua.The clashes in Sanaa erupted when thousands of demonstrators, including hundreds of students and lawyers, marched through the city and attempted to enter the downtown square Al-Tahrir, while about 2,000 armed paramilitary forces deployed there in rows trying to stop them from entering.
Faced with an increasingly alarming threat from al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, the U.S. military will begin a new training program with Yemen's counterterrorism unit so it can move against militants believed to be plotting attacks on America from safe havens there.
How timely for the Yemeni government.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
