of the Shia oppositional organizations 1 man was killed and 12 were

The lasting anti-governmental rallies at the weekend were organized
by Hezbollah and Amal movements, Reuters reports. The Shias set up a
tent camp in front of the Government’s residence. Though a part of
protestors was driven away, the rally participants are inclined to
