Hezbolla bomb factory according to Al Arabia. Official explanation is ass covering. Hopefully with Hezbolla members to be disappearing soon never to be seen again. Hezbollah members and affiliates had previously been caught in London and Cyprus with large quantities of ammonium nitrate, the highly explosive compound thought to be the cause of the deadly explosion in Beirut this week, according to a report by British newspaper the Telegraph. The massive explosion that ripped through Beirut on Tuesday, killing at least 137 people and injuring over 5,000, is thought to be the result of the ignition of large quantities of ammonium nitrate that were being stored in Beirut’s port. twitter.com [yt]1291097767402766339?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1291097767402766339%7Ctwgr%5E&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fenglish.alarabiya.net%2Fen%2FNews%2Fmiddle-east%2F2020%2F08%2F06%2FHezbollah-affiliates-stored-ammonium-nitrate-in-northwest-London-Cyprus-Report[/yt] Read more: Beirut blast: Ammonium nitrate fertilizer behind many industrial accidents Authorities have acknowledged that the nitrate was being stored in the port, but commentators have speculated about how it arrived there and why it was kept in hangar 12 in close proximity to densely populated central Beirut. According to a verified legal notice from a Lebanese law firm, the chemicals were offloaded from a Moldovan-flagged tanker in 2013 and had been kept there ever since. There is no current evidence that the material held in the port belonged to Hezbollah, but some have speculated that the chemicals might be linked to the organization, which has been designated as a terrorist group by the US and other countries. “The fact that a massive amount of explosive material was just sitting in the Port of Beirut – long suspected to be exploited by Hezbollah for illicit trade and smuggling – raises troubling questions about whether the Iran-backed terror group, which is the political glue that holds together Lebanon’s current government, had any intentions of deploying that material in an attack,” wrote Jonathan Schanzer, the senior vice president at Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD). On Twitter, Schanzer also pointed to old reports that have recently resurfaced of Hezbollah and its affiliates stockpiling quantities of ammonium nitrate elsewhere, including in London.
