Fighting raises Yemen civil war fears
Truce collapses as forces loyal to president Saleh and opposition tribesmen clash in capital Sanaa.
A tenuous truce declared a few days ago to end street fighting in the Yemeni capital between tribal groups and forces loyal to President Ali Abdullah Saleh has broken down, sending the country closer to the brink of civil war.
"The ceasefire agreement has ended," a government official said on Tuesday without giving further details.
The announcement came as overnight clashes in Sanaa killed many people and left dozens injured.
Sources told Al Jazeera that the heaviest shelling took place near the interior ministry building and the house of Sadiq al-Ahmar, a powerful tribal leader ranged against President Saleh.
