The car-bomb assassination last Friday of Lebanon's
intelligence chief Wissam Al Hassan - an attack almost universally blamed on
Syria and its local allies - brought the merry-go-round city of Beirut to a
juddering halt.
Beirutis are in a state of shock at the renewed
violence, which is reviving memories of the civil war which claimed more than
150,000 lives
Students carry placards during a silent ‘white march’ in Beirut. The march urged the rejection of ‘all forms of violence in Lebanon, and in solidarity with all those who were affected by the political and sectarian conflicts’. (Image Credit: EPA)
