Troops kill protester in south Yemen

---

SANAA, May 11 (AFP): Yemen's security forces opened fire Wednesday on anti-regime protesters in the city of Taez killing one and wounding five, medics said, as Gulf states urged Yemenis to press on with a transition plan. Wednesday's death brought to six the number of protesters killed since Sunday by security forces at Taez, located 250 kilometres (150 miles) south of the capital, according to a tally by medics. Witnesses said thousands of anti-regime protesters marched towards the Yemen Petroleum Company and locked its gate using chains and put up a banner there saying: "Shut by the people." The protesters also forced the closure of several government offices in the city.
