Anti-government protesters block roads in Beirut

BEIRUT, May 7 (Reuters) - Demonstrators blocked several roads in and around Beirut with burning tyres on Wednesday when large parts of Lebanon observed a strike to protest against the government's economic and social policies, witnesses said.

They said the main road leading to Beirut's international airport was among routes blocked by the protesters, who support the Hezbollah-led opposition.
