Pro, Anti-Assad Protesters Clash near Kuwait Embassy in Beirut

W300

A clash erupted on Sunday in the capital Beirut between anti-Syrian regime protesters and demonstrators loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, MTV reported.

The two sides used batons and rocks in the confrontation that broke out in the vicinity of the Kuwaiti embassy in Beirut, MTV added.

OTV had earlier reported rival pro- and anti-Assad demonstrations near the Kuwaiti embassy.

Earlier on Sunday a motorcade roamed Beirut’s Hamra district in support of Assad, a Naharnet journalist at the site reported.

Demonstrators were carrying Syrian and Iranian flags and the pictures of Assad, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

To the TRUE Lebanese...let this go. Let the Filth decay others fo a little bit. You know the truth of why Hizthrowup is in control now. Syria took over when you were weak and your not now! Think about who actually has brought harm to your great country. I know what I say will be lost from some posters but do it. Don't be violent but block off Beirut but support certain business. Airport road but selling. See what I mean? Do blockade but make it known who is peaceful and make money at the same time. I would actually like to see a group of christains and sunni visit hizthrowup villages to pass on "dialogue" Your country is beyond religion....time to make it happen. May peace be with Lebanon and Israel.

This is good, for when the tide changes, the New Syria will equate Assad with Nasralla.

Ben-USA, keep dreaming. Who do you think you are meddling in our affairs? You want us to go start a civil war cuz thats all you zionists ever care about. We dont need you to ask God to bless lebanon because someone who asks God to bless israel and lebanon in the same sentence obviously is nothing but a fool who when he says lebanon means another lebanon, a lebanon where allegdly the people are pro-israel. That will never happen. And before you talk about sunnis and christians entering shiite villages to clean up you should know that 30 % of sunnis, 50 % of the maronites and 90 % of the orthodox are allies with hezballah, the latter 2 groups are both christians. I myself am a Muslim (sunni) critical of both march8 and march14. Whatever our business is here in leb, we will always reject the zionist entity of israel and ask God to demolish it. The SLA r out of lebanon and when they were here, they were not even 0,5 %, in case you had hoped for them to help you carry out your evil wishes!
