Tagging Beirut: The PSP (Progressive Socialist Party)...

These tags, inked by supporters of Walid Jumblatt's Progressive Socialist Party - the secular, non sectarian party mainly supported by Druze were spotted in the vicinity of the AUB campus near Ain Mreisseh. Noticeably the tags not only feature Kamal Jumblatt, founder of the party, assassinated in 1977 in an act in which many suspect Syrian collusion; but also Gebran Tueni, the former politician and editor of An-Nahar, killed in a 2009 car bomb - another act in which Syrian complicity is widely suspected.
