Beirut boosts security ahead of general’s funeral

October 21st, 2012

Lebanese mourners light candles during a vigil for Brig. Gen. Wissam al-Hassan and at least seven others who were killed in a Friday bomb attack in Beirut, Saturday, Oct. 20, 2012. The government declared a national day of mourning for the victims on Saturday, but protesters took to the streets, burning tires and setting up roadblocks around the country in a sign of the boiling anger over the massive bomb that Lebanon's prime minister linked to the civil war in neighboring Syria.
