Clashes in Beirut Follow Funeral
Supporters of the March 14 movement, which opposes the Syrian regime of President Bashar al-Assad, storm the governmental palace in Beirut after the funeral of top intelligence chief General Wissam al-Hassan and his bodyguard, in downtown Beirut, on Oct. 21. Hassan, a prominent Lebanese figure opposed to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, died when a powerful bomb exploded in a Beirut suburb on Oct. 19, sparking angry calls for Prime Minister Najib Mikati and his government to quit.
