7 Killed in Continuing Violence in Lebanon

At least seven people were killed during clashes in Lebanon, on Monday, following six being killed Sunday.

Fighting occurred in Tripoli and Beirut between Syrian sects, as well as military forces.

Protesters have blocked roads, in many areas, with burning tires, throwing rocks and bottles at anyone who came near.

Violence began, after the funeral for Brigadier General Wissam al-Hassan.

Al-Hassan was the head of Lebanon's domestic security forces' intelligence division and was very prominent in fighting Syrian influence in the country.

Syria has been accused of orchestrating his death, and calls have come for the resignation of anyone in the government perceived as having ties with them.
