Heavy gunfire in west Beirut after protests


Heavy gunfire was heard in a Sunni district of west Beirut early Monday, just hours after clashes that followed the funeral of a top Lebanese security official killed in a car bomb blast.

For more than an hour, the sound of automatic weapons could be heard coming from the Tariq Jdideh district, an AFP correspondent said.

Soldiers prevented reporters and photographers from approaching the area and neither the army nor security services have so far made any comment.


Lebanese police fired in the air and used tear gas on Sunday to repel protesters trying to storm the premier's office in Beirut, amid calls for him to quit after a top security official was killed by a car bomb blamed on Syria.

Sunday's funeral of General Wissam al-Hassan had been billed as a protest against Syrian meddling in Lebanon, but quickly turned into anger at Prime Minister Najib Mikati, whose government is dominated by pro-Syria parties.
