Syrians pelt French envoy with eggs http://english.iribnews.ir/NewsBody.aspx?ID=15567

A group of Syrian protesters has thrown eggs at the French ambassador to Damascus as anti-Western sentiments rise in the country, Press TV reports. The incident occurred on Saturday after French Ambassador Eric Chevallier met Greek Orthodox Christians in the Maryamiyyah Church in the Syrian capital. A crowd of men and women in front of the church chanted slogans in support of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and pelted the French envoy with eggs and tomatoes as he was leaving the church building. They were protesting France's interventionist stance towards the Syrian developments and months of riots in the country.
