Residents of the Sidon suburb of Abra protested Sunday against the presence of Syrian workers after police released a Syrian accused of attempting to kill a resident. The residents of the Christian-dominated town gathered outside the church at noon and called for keeping Syrian workers away from their town, an action that warns of possible similar future protests against Syrians in other Christian towns in east Sidon. The police released Hasan Qasous, a 24-year-old Syrian worker, whom Emad Saif had filed a complaint against, accusing him of attempted murder. Safi said that Qasous had attacked him after a verbal quarrel between the two.  [Link]
