Beirut protests al hassan

Supportors of the March 14 movement, which opposes the Syrian regime of President Bashar al-Assad, wave their national flag and the Syrian pre-Baath flag whilst covering their faces from tear gas as they storm the governmental palace in Beirut after the funeral of top intelligence chief General Wissam al-Hassan and his bodyguard, in downtown Beirut, on October 21, 2012. Hassan, a prominent Lebanese figure opposed to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, died when a powerful bomb exploded in an upmarket Beirut suburb on October 19, sparking angry calls for Prime Minister Najib Mikati and his government to quit.
