5 killed in Beirut during protest over judge in blast probe
Fox News
Armed clashes erupted Thursday during a protest in Beirut by the militant group Hezbollah and its allies against the lead judge probing last year’s massive blast in the city’s port. Five people were killed and 16 were injured, Lebanon's interior minister said.
"This is a very dangerous sign," Mawlawi told reporters. "No one can take this."
The exchanges of fire involving snipers, pistols, Kalashnikovs and rocket-propelled grenades were a serious escalation of tension over the domestic probe, and the worst armed clashes since 2008, when the Shiite Hezbollah briefly overran parts of Beirut.
It was not immediately clear how Thursday’s clashes began. The Hezbollah group and its Shiite allies from the Amal Militia had called for a protest near the Justice Palace, along a former civil war front line between Muslim Shiite and Christian areas.
