Beirut blast: Charges pressed against ministers, officials for neglect rejected IANS Beirut: Charges pressed by a Lebanese judge against caretaker Prime Minister Hassan Diab and three former Ministers for their neglect over the massive August 4 Port of Beirut blasts have been rejected by the government and the establishment. All the indicted officials, including former Finance Minister Ali Hassan Khalil and former Transportation and Public Works Ministers Ghazi Zeaiter and Youssef Fenianos, are expected to be questioned on the case by next week, reports Xinhua news agency. Friday, former Prime Minister Saad Hariri said that the charges constitute a clear and flagrant constitutional breach because heads of government only appear before a special court formed by Parliament.
