Separatists Close Polling Booths in Aden
Separatists who had vowed to mark Tuesday's presidential vote as a day of "civil disobedience" have seized half of the polling booths in Yemen's main southern city Aden, a government official said.
"Half of the polling booths in Aden have been shut down after they were seized by gunmen from the Southern Movement," a local government official told Agence France Presse.
Officials and medics had earlier said that four people including a child were killed in clashes in south Yemen Tuesday between security forces and separatists.
