BEIRUT/TRIPOLI (Reuters) - A Lebanese man was killed in Tripoli on Thursday in clashes between security forces and protesters angry that a strict lockdown has left them with no means to survive the economy's collapse.

Witnesses and local media said riot police had fired live bullets as protesters tried to storm the northern city's government building.
