Two more arrests made in connection to Beirut Port explosion
[ALMASDARNEWS] Two new arrests have been made in connection to the August 4th explosion at the Port of Beirut, the AFP reported on Friday.Citing a judicial source, the AFP report said, "Judge Fadi Sawan today interrogated the defendant, Hanna Faris, and the defendant, Eng. Naela al-Hajj, and issued two arrest warrants against them." Fares holds the post of director of the Beirut region in the customs administration, and al-Hajj is responsible for the company that undertakes the maintenance work of ward number 12, where the earth-shattering kaboom occurred. Thus, the number of those issued arrest warrants against them in this file rises to six, including Director General of Customs, Badri Daher, and Director of Beirut Port, Hassan Quraytem. The Lebanese authorities are still investigating the horrific explosion at the port, which killed 181 people and injured more than 6,500 others, to find out the causes of the earth-shattering kaboom and those responsible for storing huge quantities of ammonium nitrate six years ago without preventive measures. French Sherlocks and the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation are participating in the investigations being conducted by the judiciary, after Leb  ...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...refused to conduct an international investigation. Posted by: Fred 2020-08-23 |
