Police have stormed a protest camp in southern Yemen where thousands are calling for the ouster of President Ali Abdullah Saleh http://www.abna.ir/data.asp?lang=3&Id=232468

Protesters say police fired tear gas and live rounds in the southern port city of Aden, wounding three anti-government armless protesters.Saleh declared on Friday a nationwide state of emergency and a curfew is set upon armed people in all Yemeni provinces, after a violent crackdown on anti-government protests left at least 52 people dead and scores more wounded in the capital, Sanaa.He said that the decision to impose the martial law was made by the country's National Security Council, but there was no immediate indication of how long it would last.

Yemeni security forces opened fire in attempts to prevent protesters from marching out of the square where they were gathered. Medical sources said the death toll was likely to rise.Media correspondents in Sanaa reported that many protesters were shot in the head and neck; most of the injured were shot with live ammunition.Medics at a nearby medical center said hundreds were injured; many in critical condition. One medic called the attack a "massacre".

William Hague, UK foreign secretary, also condemned the violence, adding that “it would be completely unacceptable if it emerges that this violence or those responsible are sponsored or supported in any way by the Yemeni authorities.”

There is also increasing scrutiny of America's growing involvement. They are more than advisers, they hand pick the country's top fighters, said General Yahya Mohammed Abdullah Al Saleh, President Saleh's nephew, who runs the elite counter-terrorism unit (known as the CTU).

"First, when we recruit new blood to the CTU, the British are the first ones to handle the training, and then from there, they pass them to the American trainers, and then more training and only a few can continue to the CTU," said Al Saleh."It is financed and supported by the United States Government and the UK."
