Yemeni protesters 'fired on by troops'
Source: Associated Press

Medical officials say troops have opened fire on anti-government protesters in the Yemeni capital, Sana'a, killing at least 12 and wounding dozens.

Witnesses say more than 100,000 protesters massed on Sunday around the state television building and government offices.

They say security forces opened fire, along with snipers shooting down from nearby rooftops.

Mohammed al-Abahi, a doctor at a field clinic, said at least 12 protesters were killed and as many as 200 wounded.

1. Is Obama' s warmongering going to show it's blatant hypocrisy?
I wonder if he will launch missile strikes against the Yemeni government or will he let it slide like he did with Bahrain.

Please you supporters of military assaults of foriegn countries, tell me why this one is "different"?

2. Where is the U.S. outrage over this?
It should be all over the MSM.

And is Obama going to veto Palestinian statehood this week? What hypocrisy.
