Lebanon's 'Black Sunday' killings

The Lebanese Army, which many credit with holding together the fragile nation, is under siege after firing on a protest last month.

Beirut, Lebanon - Ali Hayek clutched the photograph of his teenage son, Mahmoud, and heaved a deep sigh. "One minute he was with me and his mother was preparing his supper. Five minutes later he was shot dead in the street."

The computer student was one of seven people killed Jan. 27 when Lebanese troops fired on a crowd of Shiite antigovernment demonstrators protesting power cuts and rising bread prices.

The events of that day, now called "Black Sunday," have spurred intense accusations and recriminations from rival political factions, further souring already strained sectarian tensions in Beirut and stoking worries of more violence to come.
