Clashes rock Beirut for second night as security forces fire tear gas at protest

Reuters|
Smoke engulfed central Beirut as security forces fired tear gas at a protest near Lebanon's parliament on Sunday in a second night of clashes.
Hundreds of people had returned to demonstrate in Beirut despite a fierce crackdown by security forces at a protest the night before when clashes wounded dozens.
It marked some of the most violent unrest in a wave of protests that has swept Lebanon since Oct. 17, furious at a ruling elite that steered the country toward its worst economic crisis in decades.
