Another etremely corrupted government , they cover each other's dirty businesses. All lebanese political and religious gangsters are criminals; and need to be prosecuted in public ...

Authorities raised alarm? To whom lol? Who is responsible if not authorities Luckily, you haven't existed back in WWII. Headlines would be sth like 'NAZI AUTHORITIES RAISED ALARM ABOUT CONCENTRATION CAMPS, NO ACTION WAS TAKEN'

Sounds like a standing threat?

😃

Those 2,750 tons of highly explosive ammonium nitrate are supposed to ship to Africa 4 or 5 years ago. Who is these explosive owner ? Who has such ability to produce and have that so much ?

What will happen with dwellers of that city-called for any one- little Paris,now when mid city was detroyed and scenes are horribles

Because it was Hezbollah’s

Turns out...it's dangerous.

'Lebanon will have to pay a price for Hezbollah's mistakes', Israeli PM warned last week. Why is the US media shying from exploring possibilities. Trump branded it as an attack. Was it a surprise.

Where are the brave people from the 'White Helmets'? They are so necessary... 😢😢😢

Questioning after the horse has bolted; isn’t it strange or complacent. Governments all over the world consider themselves to be immune to law. Beirut BeirutBlast Beirut_Explosion BeirutExplosion BeirutExplosions

Jajá é culpa do Trump ou do BOLSONARO

TrueStory. How wants this country's economy to 'keep suffering,' is the one who ignited the explosion. Per Trump's military advisers, it was a bomb or a hit on the compound😎

The building will turn out to belong to Jared Kushner. It is that kind of year.
