The Latest: Protesters storm Lebanon’s Foreign Ministry

BEIRUT (AP) — A group of Lebanese protesters including retired army officers have stormed the Foreign Ministry building in the capital Beirut as part of protests following the massive explosion this week.

The protesters said Saturday the Foreign Ministry would be the headquarters for a “revolution” and called on the current government to resign. Retired army officer Sami Ramah read a statement on the building’s steps after dozens of protesters pushed their way into the building. “This authority must step down,” he said.

Protesters raised flags with the image of a fist that has come to symbolize nationwide anti-government protests.
