Pro, Anti-Assad Protesters Clash near Kuwait Embassy in Beirut
A clash erupted on Sunday in the capital Beirut between anti-Syrian regime protesters and demonstrators loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, MTV reported.
The two sides used batons and rocks in the confrontation that broke out in the vicinity of the Kuwaiti embassy in Beirut, MTV added.
OTV had earlier reported rival pro- and anti-Assad demonstrations near the Kuwaiti embassy.
Earlier on Sunday a motorcade roamed Beirut’s Hamra district in support of Assad, a Naharnet journalist at the site reported.
Demonstrators were carrying Syrian and Iranian flags and the pictures of Assad, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
