Go up to Lebanon, and cry... Jeremiah 22:20
The Prince of Persia--whether inspiring someone to intentionally cause the Blast in Beirut--or--whether it somehow "accidently" exploded----he must be happy with the devastation and follow up social unrest he will unleash on Lebanon (on the heels of recent unrest there). And who knows IF this will somehow be used to start a mid-east war on a scale not seen since the Iran-Iraq War/bloodletting of the early 80's.
"Angry protesters storm gov't buildings as tens of thousands rally against Lebanon's ruling class after deadly explosion.
Thousands of protesters have gathered in central Beirut seeking justice over Tuesday's catastrophic explosion as riot police fire tear gas at those trying to break through a barrier to the parliament building.
One policeman killed in the Beirut clashes; dozens of protesters wounded.
At least 158 people were killed in the explosion and more than 6,000 others injured, but numbers are expected to rise as search and rescue operations continue for missing people."
The army attacked protesters with sticks, beating a large number of them, while demonstrators responded by throwing rocks at the
troops.
"Take off the suit and come stand with us, then you can wear it again with honor," a protester said as a number of them confronted a line of soldiers.
"Tell us what you get from being with them? We really don't understand it, why are you doing this to us?"
At least 238 proesters have been wounded in central Beirut. A group of protesters have stormed Lebanon's Association of Banks, as well as the Lebanese energy ministry as part of their attempt to take over the country's ministries. A Lebanese policeman was killed in clashes with demonstrators in central Beirut, a police spokesman said.
Thousands of people poured into Beirut's main square hanging up symbolic nooses that they say officials should be hanged with over this week's blast amid clashes between protesters and riot police near parliament.
Al Jazeera's Zeina Khodr at the scene said civil society groups have been calling on people to return to the streets, saying "enough is enough".
"There's a lot of anger, a lot of rage, people are calling for revenge and justice. They say today is about justice for the victims of Tuesday's blast," Khodr said. "They want politicians hanged, they want politicians executed."Al Jazeera

The Lebanese army drove out a group of protesters who had taken over the foreign ministry building in central Beirut hours earlier.
The demonstrators, led by retired army officers, had stormed the building and declared it the "headquarters of the revolution", but they were expelled three hours later when large army reinforcements muscled in.
