Seven people were killed on Oct. 14 in Lebanon, as an unarmed protest was ambushed by snipers in a Beirut suburb. The protest had been organized to call for the removal of the judge investigating the horrific Beirut port explosion last year.
The killings were widely blamed in Lebanon on the Lebanese Forces, a right-wing, sectarian Christian militia. Al-Akhbar, a left-wing daily, compared Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea to Hitler on its front page the next morning.
