At least two wounded by gunshots in Lebanon protests
(AFP)

23 January 2007


BYBLOS, Lebanon - At least two people were wounded when gunmen fired at 
men trying to block roads at dawn on Tuesday at the start of a one-day 
strike called by the opposition, hospital sources and witnesses told AFP.

Mark Howayek was wounded by a bullet in the back while George Farah 
received a shot in his stomach, sources said at Lamartine Hospital in 
the port city of Byblos north of Beirut where they were transported.

They told an AFP correspondent that they were followers of Christian 
opposition leader Michel Aoun.

Witnesses on the main road linking Byblos with the town of Halate, more 
to the north, told AFP that two more people were wounded when gunmen 
fired at a group of opposition followers trying to block the road.

Since dawn, several roads have been blocked in Beirut and other 
surrounding regions by opposition followers who burned tyres and dumped 
sand across the roads, AFP correspondents said.

The opposition, led by the pro-Syrian party Hezbollah, has called for a 
one-day strike to paralyse the country in its latest bid to topple the 
Western-backed government.
