Yemen street battles leave scores dead At least 41 killed as disarray in military intensifies and government troops clash with defectors and rebelsAt least 41 people have been killed in shelling and street battles between government forces and opposition fighters in the Yemeni capital of Sana'a.The skirmishes come amid growing signs of disarray in president Ali Abdullah Saleh's military.Fighting raged until 5am, and witnesses said presidential guard units shelled the headquarters of an army brigade responsible for guarding sensitive government institutions.Army officers who have defected to the opposition say the government suspected the brigade commander was about to join forces with the movement to oust Saleh.Opposition army officers, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with army rules, said the armoured brigade commander, Brigadier General Mohammed Khalil, was neutral and without political affiliation but had apparently angered Saleh.The dead included combatants from both sides of the conflict, said the medical officials, speaking anonymously for fear of reprisals.The fighting engulfed the Hassaba neighbourhood that contains the family compound of influential opposition tribal leader Sheik Sadeq al-Ahmar, and to the north of that district where republican guard units protect Saleh's former residence.The units, led by one of Saleh's sons, and special forces wearing uniforms of government security troops attacked but failed to recapture the Hassaba administrative building from tribal gunmen.On Tuesday, Saleh imposed collective punishment on the Hassaba neighbourhood by cutting water supplies and electricity.A resident who lives close to the fighting and would only give his first name, Zaher, said columns of smoke and fire billowed from Khalil's brigade headquarters and explosions could be heard.Sever 脱北者と、少なくともrebelsAt 41人との軍事激化、政府軍の衝突の乱れとして殺さ少なくとも41でサナアイエメンの首都で政府軍と野党の戦闘機の間に砲撃通りの戦いで殺されている
