Anger mounted among Syrians in Lebanon Wednesday with at least one Syrian opposition group and an international human rights organization calling for a quick investigation after the death of at least four Syrians in Lebanese army custody. The placard in Arabic, center, reads, "For what crime was he killed? ... In Arsal," and at right, "We haven't come to Lebanon for tourism," and left, "Take us to Jarablus [Syria]." (AP Photo)
