Hundreds of men and women supporting Salafist cleric
Sheikh Ahmed al-Asir marched from Bilal Bin Rabah Mosque after Friday
prayers, heading to al-Karameh roundabout in the southern city of Sidon.The protestors assaulted TV crews in Abra, smashing the windows of their cars and breaking their cameras during the march.The attack prompted the Lebanese army to ask journalists
to leave Sidon and the northern city of Tripoli until the end of the
protest in the southern city which allegedly erupted after the mosque's
new Imam, Sheikh Mohammed Abu Zeid, did not mention al-Asir when he
delivered his sermon to worshippers.Tripoli has a large presence of Islamists. State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr
charged on Thursday 27 people for their involvement in the Abra battles
where Bilal Bin Rabah mosque is located.Ten of them were charged in absentia, including al-Asir and a onetime prominent singer-turned Salafist Fadel Shaker.The cleric teamed up with Shaker when around two years ago he began agitating for Hizbullah to disarm.If convinced, the suspects face the death penalty.
