Protests have erupted for a third consecutive night in Beirut despite the government's resignation on Monday.
Anger continues to mount over last week's deadly explosion that killed over 200 people.

A third night of clashes broke out near the parliament building.
Protestors throwing fireworks were met with tear gas fired by riot police.
Hours earlier announcing his resignation, Prime Minister Hassan Diab blames the blast on endemic corruption but avoided any responsibility.
It's unlikely the mass resignation of the government, the second in a year, will remove much heat from the protests.
A new prime minister will have to be chosen using the same system of sectarian politics at the root of many people's complaints.
