Snips from Lebanon

The army has sealed off downtown Beirut amid growing fears Sunday that the government was mobilizing loyalist mobs to disrupt a massive sit-in planned by anti-Syria opposition around parliament in a bid to topple Premier Karami's government the next day.
The opposition on Sunday vowed to maintain its call for the peaceful sit-in on Monday in defiance of a ban on public demonstrations.

Every street and alleyway leading to parliament building midway between the Mosque and the murder scene were fenced off by steel barricades with troops standing guard in full combat gear. Glamorous restaurants, nightclubs and sidewalk cafes that thrive on weekend were closed by the army since Saturday evening.

Nevertheless, thousands of youths linked their hands in a human barricade stretching from the grave to the murder spot under glaring projectors all night Saturday-Sunday, chanting "Syria Out."

The tumultuous crowds at the gravesite abruptly fell totally silent when Hariri's sister, legislator Bahia Hariri, appeared on the scene. She knelt at the grave which is covered by layers of roses and surrounded by layers of burning candles and read verses from the Koran for the peace of her brother's soul and then walked away with tears welling down her cheeks.

Chants against Syria and Karami's government rang out anew from the protestors when Hariri's sister left. Many opposition activists set up giant TV screens near a makeshift small township of tents at Martyrs Square to watch the parliament session if Speaker Nabih Berri decides to maintain plans to televise it live.
