Last Thursday, the Lebanese army announced that it had found quantities of ammonium nitrate near the entrance to the Beirut port.
Lebanon seeks to overcome the aftermath of a large explosion that rocked the port of the capital, Beirut, following a fire that struck a warehouse containing 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate, killing 190 people and injuring more than 6 thousand, while destroying entire neighborhoods of the capital.
Beirut was declared a disaster zone, while the city witnessed angry protests over the explosion that prompted Prime Minister Hassan Diab’s government to resign.
