Four injured in Taiz clashes

Sana'a, June 25, 2011- Two republican guards and two civilians were injured when clashes erupted between pro revolution militants and republican guards on Saturday.

Eyewitnesses said that the militants were occupying governmental buildings in Taiz city while republican guards tried to retake them. The buildings are still in the control of the militants.

The clashes continued for three hours.

The gunmen in the clashes belong to powerful tribal leader Hamood Mikhlafi, who vowed to control most governmental buildings in Taiz city to ensure that protesters are not attacked, especially after more than 60 protesters were killed by government forces in one night.
