Hizballah Draws Vast Pro-Syrian Crowds in Beirut
(Reuters/ABC News) Nadim Ladki - Hundreds of thousands of flag-waving Lebanese flooded central Beirut Tuesday for a pro-Syrian rally called by Hizballah that dwarfed previous Lebanese protests demanding that Syrian troops quit Lebanon. Hizballah and Lebanese security sources said one million people attended the rally, which Hizballah chief Hassan Nasrallah called to thank Syria for its "sacrifices" in Lebanon and to oppose a UN resolution saying militias must disarm.
