Rebels: Gov’t Fired Rockets at Crowd

Protesters in Yemen say the military fired rockets at them, killing four and wounding seven others. “During a peaceful protest this Friday morning... demanding the fall of the regime, an end to corruption and political change, a military site fired rockets at a group of protesters and hit dozens of people," a statement from the Shi’ite protesters said. The rebels, known as the Houthis, after their leader Abdel Malek al-Houthi, have been in an on-and-off war with the Yemeni government since 2004.
