Massacre as snipers strike Yemeni protesters in Sanaa
From rooftops snipers killed 46 protesters in Sanaa as police burned tires to block routes. Thousands remained in Taghyir Square despite live fire and tear gas, while President Saleh ordered a 30 day state of emergency and faced international calls for restraint. Journalists were among the dead, and U.S. aid to Yemen drew renewed scrutiny.
