Lebanon braces for further violence
Beirut, May 10 (MIA) - Roadblocks are paralysing Beirut as unrest in Lebanon enters its fourth day.
At least 15 people have been killed in three days of fighting between the country's Iranian-backed Hezbollah group and Sunnis loyal to the US-backed government.
Hezbollah forces seized control of large parts of the Muslim half of Beirut on Friday in a move the governing coalition called "an armed and bloody coup".
The United States has pointed to Hezbollah's links with Iran and Syria, and said it is talking with other powers about taking measures against "those responsible for the violence".
This week's intense violence began after the government tried to fire a Hezbollah-linked airport security chief and shut down a Hezbollah communications network.
It follows 17 months of political deadlock between the Hezbollah-led opposition, which demands more say in government, and the ruling coalition.
The unrest has virtually shut down Lebanon's international airport and closed many major highways, and is Lebanon's worst sectarian fighting in more than a decade.
