An army soldier keeps watch over a rally gathering to demand the ouster of Yemen’s President Ali Abdullah Saleh in Sanaa June 3, 2011. Yemenis abandoned the capital in large numbers earlier this week, fleeing gun battles between loyalists and opponents of President Saleh, who said he would make no more concessions to those who want him out. The president was reported to have been wounded by a mortar attack earlier this morning which killed three of his guards and a cleric. He has not yet appeared in public since the attack.
