Army Disperses Protesters near Tripoli's Bab al-Tabbaneh
A number of youths gathered at the Abou Ali roundabout in the northern city of Tripoli on Wednesday to protest the army's recent measures in the neighborhood of Bab al-Tabbaneh, reported the National News Agency.
It said that the army soon arrived at the scene to disperse the protesters by opening fire into the air.
The gatherers were protesting the army's setting up of a barrier at one of the entrance of Bab al-Tabbaneh.
The youths described the barrier as a "blockade" of the area.
The army later blocked with barbed wire one of the entrances of the neighborhood and used tear gas to disperse the youths, reported LBCI television.
