Sana'a-Feb 19, 2010- One protester was shot dead and five wounded in clashes with Yemeni government supporters near the capital Sanaa's university campus on Saturday.

The death, the first in nearly a week of protests, came as government supporters, armed with guns, batons and rocks, tried to break into the campus and students responded by hurling stones.

Police did not intervene but blocked the roads leading to the university.
