A Lebanese reporter who was at the scene at the hospital yesterday when the body of Walid `Idu was being brought in told me some of the chants that she heard (and which were not reported in the Lebanese newspapers):
"الله، حريري، طريق الجديدة"
"هزّي هزي يا بيروت وليد عيدو ما بيموت"
"عمر، عثمان، علي، دم السنّة عم يغلي غلي"
"بدنا التار.. بدنا التار.. من لحود ومن بشار" – "بدنا التار بدنا التار من نصر الله ومن بشار"
