- SANAA: A Yemeni security official says armed guards trying to break up a strike at a government office have killed one of the protesting workers.
Employees of the Central Agency for Control and Audit in the southern province of Aden are among civil servants holding strikes nationwide to demand the removal of corrupt officials and loyalists of the outgoing president.
The unrest from within government agencies presents a new threat to the regime of Ali Abdullah Saleh, who has agreed to step down after nearly a year of protests calling for his ouster.
The official says the employee of the auditing agency was killed Monday. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to brief the media.
