SANAA (Reuters) - The Yemeni opposition paraded through Sanaa the bodies of 50 people it said were killed in clashes with President Ali Abdullah Saleh's forces this week as fighting spread on Friday and edged towards civil war.Street battles in the capital have killed at least 155 power the last 10 days, marking an escalation in the uprising to end Saleh's three-decade long rule of the impoverished state which started in January. About 370 people have been killed in total.Major fighting in Sanaa also spread for the first time to the southern part of the city, an area held by forces loyal to Saleh and possibly marking a turning point in the conflict.There were also explosions heard in Taiz, where the United Nations said it was investigating reports that 50 have been killed in the southern city since Sunday.
