BEIJING,May 27 (Xinhuanet) -- At least 28 people have been killed in an

explosion at an arms storage facility in Yemen's capital, Sanaa.

The blast occurred during an overnight exchange of gunfire. Yemeni President Ali

Abdullah Saleh ordered the arrest of the opposition tribal leader Sadiq al-Ahmar

as well as his brothers. Ahmar responded by urging Arab countries to pressure

Saleh to hand over power. According to Ahmar, mediation to end the clashes has

ended and fighting is still ongoing near the airport.

Meanwhile, the Yemeni government says the headquarters of an opposition TV

station in the city has also been destroyed.

Also on Thursday, a suspected bomb blast wounded at least seven people including

a police officer in the Turkish city of Istanbul. The blast occurred near a bus

station during rush hour.
