Yemen elite forces attack Defense Ministry, source says

Hundreds of Republican Guards loyal to Yemen's former president attacked the Defense Ministry building near the center of the capital city Sanaa on Tuesday, a Defense Ministry official said.

Four people were killed and nine others injured in the attack, said the official, who did not wish to be named because he is not authorized to speak to the media.

Clashes continued into the afternoon between Defense Ministry security officers and hundreds of Republican Guard forces as heavy explosions were heard throughout the Yemen capital, eyewitnesses said.

The clashes are inching closer toward the center of the capital, the eyewitnesses added.

    Hey there phillip how would you know so much about yemen ? When you were there did you have a history lesson on the peoples ways and history ? Youe (former) company would not pay for such a thing only thing you received in yemen was a quick breifing on a few simple laws of that country ! And you continue to run that disentary hole of yours . Its just so easy to see through your fog buddy that you have put in front of everyones eyes ! You ever heard the saying that sheets are thick and blankets are thin ? Will we see through both an that goes for all the good women on Cnn so just except the fact that everyone now knows who you really are,,, and that is ah ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,a blaitant idiot good evening to you dumb crap

    Question to the idiot ,,,,if you where blind folded and placed in a room with a group of women and started a discussion would it make any difference if they where over weight or not ? Then you take off that blind fold after an hour or so and found all where over weight would it make a difference so how would that affect you ? It hurts others terribly when you put them down for there imperfections but its what is in the hearts of all those heavy women is what matters most and thats something that you cannot change in them . So you can only change yourself before you try to change others if you have a heart to change that is but from the looks of it you lost yours !

    Women are a very important foundation on this earth i was taught that many a moons ago if it were not for all you ladies we would be at war full time for all eternity . That would be devestating to say the least . Me and my mother do not get along at all , but i love that woman to death . She is my life thats what she gave me and thats what makes me a wealthy person i could have all the money in the world , and that would not match the importance of the womens place in society,,,,,,,how many presidents do you folks think that have been influenced by the 1st lady ? To do the right thing? I could safely say everyone of them have at one point or another . I will and have always respected women even as a gay male i still have a lot of freinds that are female and are actually much nicer to me then most men exceot my other half,,,,,hats off to you gals of the earth and one other thing ladies,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,you all just keep kicking a*s and dont let anyone ever beat you girls down i would back up those that know me !

    Note:
    This brigade does not follow the Republican Guard to the son of the former president, but follows the southern region ..
    They went to the Ministry of Defense to demand their salaries ..
