SANAA: Heavy fighting between government forces and defected military troops shook the Yemeni capital early on Friday, killing two people in what could signal the start of a power struggle just days after president Ali Abdullah Saleh agreed to end his 33-year rule.
The clashes pitted central forces commanded by Saleh's nephew, Col Yehia Saleh, against troops from the First Armored Division, headed by Gen Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar , who defected and joined the protesters in March. The troops fired machine guns and mortars, some of which landed on civilian homes.
