SANAA - Forces loyal to outgoing President Ali Abdullah Saleh and his opponents withdrew from their positions in the capital Sanaa on Saturday, witnesses and officials said, in a further sign a peace deal signed last month was being implemented.
In southern Yemen, two government soldiers were killed in a clash with Islamist militants, medical sources said, as insurgents linked to al-Qaida challenged the peace accord aimed at pulling the country away from civil war.

They said armored bulldozers removed barricades from Sixty Street which split the capital into a dissident-controlled north and Saleh-ruled south under the military's supervision.
Military trucks were seen carrying armored vehicles from the base of a brigade led by dissident General Ali Mohsen outside Sanaa.
