Grizzly bear kilk Man dead after attack in remote area of Montana BONNERS FERRY, Idaho (AP) - A grizzly bear wounded by a hunter later attacked and killed the hunter's partner Friday after the two men tracked the animal in a remote area along the Idaho-Montana boarder, author- ities said. Steve Stevenson, 39, and Ty Bell, 21, members of a hunting party from Winnemucca, Nev., were going after black bears when the attacked occurred about 10 a.m. PDT in a mountain- ous, heavily forested region in Lincoln County, Mont., near the Canadian border. Bell shot and wounded a young male grizzly, believing it to be a black bear, undersheriff Brent Faulkner said. "They tracked the bear into an area of heavy cover where Mr. Stevenson was attacked by the wounded grizzly bear," Faulkner said in a news release late Friday. "Mr. Bell was able to shoot the bear multiple times, eventually killing it," he said. Bell used his cell phone to call for help but Stevenson died from his injuries, Faulkner said. The area is extremely remote, with no roads and poor com- munications, said Ron Aasheim of the Montana Department hunter of Fish, Wildlife and Parks. Authorities reached the scene in helicopters. "This is big-time back coun- try," he said. "There are no roads even close to this thing." Authorities said the two were part of a four-person hunting party going after black bears in the area when the attack occurred. Faulkner said the party had split up earlier into two- member teams. The incident is under investi- gation. It is illegal to kill a grizzly bear, which is listed as threat- ened in the Lower 48 states. There was no immediate word if Bell would face any charges. This is at least the third man killed by a grizzly since July. Anti-government protestors carry a wounded protestor from the site of clashes with terday. Yemeni gov't force. fire on protesters, Attack on tens of thousands labeled deadliest in months SANAA, Yemen (AP) - Yeme- ni government forces opened fire with anti-aircraft guns and automatic weapons on tens of thousands of anti-government protesters in the capital demand- ing ouster of their longtime ruler, killing at least 26 and wounding dozens, medical officials and wit- nesses said. After nightfall, Sanaa sank into complete darkness after a sudden power outage, as protest- ers took control of a vital bridge, halting traffic and setting up tents. Thousands of other pro- testers attacked government buildings and set fires to build- ings they said were used by snip- ers and pro-government thugs. The attack was the deadli- est in months against protesters and comes as tensions have been escalating in the long, drawn-out stalemate between the regime and the opposition. The presi- dent, Ali Abdullah Saleh, left for Saudi Arabia for treatment after being severely wounded in a June 3 attack on his palace, raising hopes for his swift removal - but instead, he has dug in, refusing to step down. The protest movement has stepped up demonstrations the past week, angered after Saleh deputized Vice President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi to negoti- ate a power-transfer deal. Many believe the move is just the latest of many delayingtactics. At the same time, greater num- bers of the powerful Republican Guards force, led by Saleh's son and heir apparent Ahmed and armed regime supporters have also been turning out in the streets in recent days, raising fears of a new bloody confrontation. More than 100,000 protest- ers massed yesterday around the state radio building and gov- ernment offices, witnesses said. When the crowd began to march toward the nearby Presidential Palace, security forces opened fire and shot tear gas canisters, they said. Snipers fired down at the crowd from nearby rooftops, and plainclothes Saleh support- ers armed with automatic rifles, swords and batons attacked the protesters. Protesters tfak con- trol of a main bridge, closed off the entrances and set fire to tents in a camp used by pro-govern- ment forces. "This peaceful protest was confronted by heavy weapons and anti-aircraft guns," said Mohammed al-Sabri, ant opposi- tion spokesman. He vowed that the intensifying protests "will not stop and will not retreat." H ANI MOHAMMED/AP security forces, in Sanaa; Yemen, yes- s open 26 killed At the neighborhood of al- Zubairi in the heart of Sanaa, troops opened fire at an anti-gov- ernment force, the 1st Armored Division led by Maj. Gen. Ali al-Ahmar, who defected to the opposition along with his 50,000 troops several months ago. Witnesses said al-Ahmar's forces engaged in the fight- ing yesterday for the first time, but Abdel-Ghani al-Shemari, spokesman for al-Ahmar divi- sion denied that and said they are "maintaining self-restraint." Tarek Noaman, a doctor at Sanaa field hospital, said that 26 protesters were shot dead and more than 200 were wounded. "Most of the injuries are at the chest, shoulder, head and face," he said, and said 25 of injured pro- testers were in critical condition. He accused security forces of preventing ambulances from evacuatingthe wounded and col- lecting bodies of the slain pro- testers. A Yemeni opposition televi- sion network carried live video of men carrying injured protest- ers on stretchers, including a motionless man whose face was covered with blood and eyes wrapped with bandages. Other young men were lying on the floor in the chaotic field hospital. Men on motorcycles rushed the injured from the square to field hospital.
