BEIRUT, May 7 (Reuters) - A labour union strike and anti-government protests would force Beirut's international airport to suspend flights on Wednesday, officials said.

They said 32 flights to and from Lebanon's only civilian airport had either been delayed or cancelled. Airport staff were due to join the strike from 0600 GMT to 1200 GMT and anti-government protesters have blocked roads leading to it. (Writing by Nadim Ladki)
