Great. So, who’s minding the store now? Hezbollah? The military?

I think it was a weapons cache. The blow up may or may not have been accidental.

I don’t think it was just a bunch of randomly stored fertilizer.

It was not fertilizer. It was Ammonium Nitrate explosive which is what it was purchased for and is used for in 80% or more for all mining and earthwork explosive uses. It was purchased by a mining company in Mozambique Africa from Russia and sailed from a Georgian port in the Black Sea and the ship broke down in the Mediterranean and ported in Lebanon instead of going through the Suez Canal. The shipping company did not pay the crew and went bankrupt and Lebanon confiscated the dangerous cargo. The ship later left Lebanon and was sunk off the coast and likely scuttled on purpose.

Who was behind keeping this stuff in the heart of the city, or why was the explosive dangerous cargo never removed? Hezbollah? Iran? Russia? Local farmers were stealing material from an open metal door they cut into. A work crew with an acetylene torch was welding the whole shut when they started the fire.

TOTAL INCOMPETENCE ALL THE WAY AROUND THIS THRIRD WORLD HELL HOLE!

“The fertilizer had been seized by a Russian cargo ship.”

Copy editor to idiot writer - “Please explain how a ship seizes cargo?”

There are so many holes in the story that it should be about Swiss Cheese.

the result of severe corruption in the administration,” PM Hassan Diab said

Big surprise, Lebanon is corrupt from head to toe, just like our deep state. Government breeds corruption for ONE big reason, zero accountability. When Strock and Paige and Comey and Obama are jailed wake me up.

Hmm, seems the post needs to hire an editor.
