Anti-Syrian Protest in Tripoli Targets Iran's "Persian Project"
(Daily Star-Lebanon) Antoine Amrieh - Supporters of the popular uprisings in Syria marched in a demonstration in Tripoli, Lebanon, on Friday, chanting slogans against Iran and setting the country's flag ablaze. Following Friday prayers at Hamza Mosque in the Qibbeh neighborhood, around 100 worshippers marched in nearby streets before gathering at Ibn Sina Square, in what has become a weekly practice. Protesters rejected what they called the "Persian project, which tries to dominate the resources...of the country."
