Security forces in Yemen have fired on anti-government protesters for a second day, killing four people and wounding several, doctors say.

Troops opened fire on tens of thousands of people marching in the capital Sanaa to call for President Ali Abdullah Saleh's resignation, witnesses say.

At least 12 people were killed and 80 people wounded in a similar protest on Saturday.

President Saleh has been battling eight months of street protests.

1. Bad use of quotes in title...

were they "shot" or were they shot.

sounds like they were fired upon as opposed to maybe they were fired upon.

just my pet peeve.
