Beirut is bracing for a large anti-government protest as anger keeps on mounting

Beirut is bracing for a large anti-government protest as anger keeps on mounting.

Thousands of Lebanese are expected to take to the streets of Beirut today to vent their anger at the government and remember those who died in Tuesday's devastating explosion. The march -- which will also commemorate the victims -- will go from one of the worst hit districts to Martyrs' Square.
