Islamist groups in Tripoli – Lebanon's northern city – have been staging protests against the Syrian regime for a while but tonight marked their first demonstration in Beirut. The protesters apparently clashed with a pro-Assad crowd early on in the event but were soon parted by a heavy security presence. There's a good report of how the evening played out here.
