Relatives of Hussam al-Shawwa mourn his death as they gather around a vehicle carrying his body in Beirut during his funeral March 19, 2014. Lebanese demonstrators blocked several roads throughout the country on Tuesday evening in protest at what they called a "siege" on the Sunni Muslim town of Arsal on the border with Syria. In the Beirut suburb of Qasqas, five protesters were wounded when the army fired tear gas into the crowd, the security source said. A Reuters photographer said a bystander was shot dead during a protest in a Sunni district of Beirut. The source of the gunfire was not immediately clear.
