Yemeni police storm sit-in site

Yemeni security forces stormed a square early today where thousands of pro-democracy protesters have been camped out for the past month, firing tear gas and live ammunition during a pre-dawn raid that killed at least one person, doctors and witnesses said.

Television footage showed protesters overcome by tear gas lying in the central square in the capital, Sanaa, the site of a month-long sit-in to demand the ousting of President Ali Abdullah Saleh. Saleh has been in power for 32 years.
