25 hurt in Yemen clashes

At least 25 people were injured in fierce clashes between pro- and anti-regime protesters in Sanaa as the army deployed in force in the restive city of Aden yesterday, AFP correspondents said.
About 2,000 protesters, mostly students, had just left Sanaa University headed for central Sanaa's Tahrir Square, or Liberation Square, when they ran into regime supporters and clashes broke out for a fifth straight day.
President Ali Abdullah Saleh's loyalists were gathered and waiting near the university since early in the day and attacked the protesters with batons and stones, a reporter said.
The protesters, chanting "The people want to overthrow the regime," responded by hurling stones.
