``We want a clean government,'' one banner read. ``Siniora out, we want a free, free government,'' the crowd chanted. Some set up tents to begin a sit-in on roads leading to the government headquarters.

Saad al-Hariri, a prominent anti-Syrian Sunni Muslim leader, said the protests would not bring down the government.

``No matter how long they stay in the street...this will not bring down the government of Fouad Siniora,'' he told Al Hurra television. >>>cont
