Government forces opened fire on anti-government protesters in the north Friday, killing four people, AFP reported.
In the capital Sanaa, massive crowds gathered for weekly Muslim prayers in a square where anti-Saleh protesters have been camped since Feb. 20. Organizers said more than 100,000 people were demonstrating in Sanaa on Friday.
Opposition groups have presented President Ali Abdullah Saleh with a plan for a smooth transition of power, but Saleh has not responded, according to Voice of America. He has said he will not seek re-election when his current term expires in 2013.
