Police, anti-government protesters again clash in Beirut

Lebanese riot police sprayed thousands of protesters with water cannons and hurled stones at them Sunday in downtown Beirut, marking the second day mass demonstrations against an ongoing trash crisis have become violence.

 

The violence came hours after Prime Minister Tammam Salam hinted he might step down following violent protests Saturday that injured more than 100 people.
