Opposition holds mass rally in Beirut as Syria prepares for army pullback

BEIRUT (AFP) - Up to 150,000 opposition supporters rallied in Beirut three weeks after the murder of ex-premier Rafiq Hariri as Syria prepared for a troop pullback in Lebanon in the face of international pressure.

Lebanon only has about four million people - about one and half million live in Beirut. An equivalent demonstration in the New York area would have brought out over a million people.
