Anti-Hezbollah protests in north Lebanon

None

More than 500 people gathered on Monday in Lebanon's northern city of Tripoli to denounce the impending appointment of Hezbollah-backed candidate Najib Mikati as prime minister.

 

Supporters of acting Prime Minister Saad Hariri, whose government collapsed earlier this month, gathered in a town square chanting "Out with Najib!" and "Hezbollah, party of the devil!" as gunshots were heard in the area, an AFP correspondent said. (AFP)
