Trump: Massive explosion in Beirut was likely an ‘attack’

"WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says U.S. military generals have told him that they think the massive explosion that rocked Beirut on Tuesday, killing more than 70 people, was likely a bomb. He told reporters at the White House that he had met with some generals and they do not think it was a manufacturing-type explosion. He says the generals seem to think it was an attack — “a bomb of some kind.” The explosion flattened much of a port and damaged buildings across the capital, sending a giant mushroom cloud into the sky. More than 3,000 others were injured, with bodies buried in the rubble."

“It is unacceptable that a shipment of 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate has been present for six years in a warehouse...”

Problem solved.

I think terrorists have access to much more powerful explosions than fertilizer.

Yeah, well, 911 killed a lot more than 70 people and it was definitely a terror attack...and what did citizens in Beirut do? Oh, I know, they laughed and said we deserved it.

I am ONE person at least who has not forgotten.

LOL! Rhetorical Question: Who stores 2,700 tons of any explosive in a downtown port?
