Lebanon’s cabinet agreed to arrest all Beirut port officials who have overseen storage and security from 2014 onwards after the ammonium nitrate explosion
reporters that his agency had asked for the explosive materials to be removed from the port, but “this did not happen and we leave it to the experts to determine the reasons.”
Lebanon’s Information Minister has announced a two week state of emergency in Beirut as the death toll continues to climb, reaching at least 100 with thousands of other injuries. Diab told reporters that the ammonium nitrate had been in storage without “preventative measures” since it was confiscated from a Russian-owned cargo ship in 2014. Customs officials
warned judges of the risk associated with storing the explosives in a hangar at the port on several occasions between 2014 and 2017.
