PM Diab questions fate of unexploded ammonium nitrate from Beirut port

BEIRUT: An FBI probe into the Aug. 4 explosion at the Beirut port found it was caused by 500 tons of ammonium nitrate, Lebanon’s caretaker Prime Minister Hassan Diab said on Tuesday. Diab, who quit following the blast that killed more than 200 people and inflicted billions of dollars in damage, earlier said that more than 2,700 tons of ammonium nitrate had been stored at a port hangar for years. Diab said he was surprised that “the security services, who were aware of the existence of 2,700 tons of ammonium nitrate in one of the hangars of the Beirut port, did not raise this issue during 20 sessions held by the Supreme Defense Council before the explosion took place on Aug. 4.”

In an interview with Reuters news agency, outgoing Prime Minister Hassan Diab also said Western officials had told him there was “an international decision” not to help Lebanon because of Iran-backed Hezbollah’s role the country. Diab said he only learned there was $2bn in foreign reserves left for subsidies from TV comments Central Bank Governor Riad Salameh made last week.
