Hariri loyalists protest PM nomination in Lebanon
Hundreds of supporters of caretaker Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri protested in north Lebanon on Tuesday against the expected nomination of Hezbollah-backed Najib Mikati to form the next government.
Hariri loyalists have called for a "day of anger" after Hezbollah and its allies, who toppled Hariri's government two weeks ago in a dispute about indictments in the investigation of his father's killing, won support for Mikati to replace him. "Sunni blood is boiling", chanted some protesters, burning pictures of Mikati and waving blue flags of Hariri's Future Movement, which says it will not serve in any government dominated by the militant Shi'ite group.
