SANAA (AFP) – Dissident tribesmen have fought loyalist troops in the Yemeni capital for a third straight day leaving bodies littering the streets and sending thousands of residents fleeing. More than 60 people have now been confirmed killed in the fighting since a fragile truce between the forces of powerful tribal leader Sheikh Sadiq al-Ahmar and embattled President Ali Abdullah Saleh collapsed on Tuesday.
