Hundreds were wounded and at least three killed as Lebanon was brought to a standstill yesterday as calls for a general strike turned violent when opposition protestors took to the streets, burning tires and blocking all major roads in and around Beirut. The nearly two-month long Hezbollah-led protest escalated into a second phase in a bid to topple the current Western backed government of Prime Minister Fouad Siniora. The current crisis has cost the Lebanese economy $70 million dollars a day, and many fear that the country could be slipping in to a civil war. Simba Russeau has more from Beirut. Trackback(0)
