The worst street violence in the capital in 13 years

At least 6 people have died in Lebanon during a protest over the inquiry into last year's massive explosion.

It is the capital, Beirut's, worst street violence in 13 years.

Dozens of others were injured when gunfire involving snipers, pistols, rifles and rocket-propelled grenades broke out in Beirut.

The US has called for calm, while Saudi Arabia says it hopes the situation stabilises as soon as possible.
