BEIRUT (Reuters) - Lebanese protesters continued their protests over worsening living conditions and cabinet decisions to impose new tariffs, including communications charges, as protesters in the Lebanese capital continued to cut off Beirut's airport road and ignite tires while clouds of smoke covered the area.
