Nasrallah threatened to blow up Israel with same chemicals as Beirut blast [Beirut explosion not an "accident?"]
The Jerusalem Post ^ | Aug 6 | Frantzman

Hezbollah’s comments in 2016 and 2017 suggest it consulted experts about how to cause mass death using other means than just missiles and how to strike at strategic or other infrastructure. That it considered using missiles to target a boat or destroying a ship by other mean suggests the level of terror threats that it has come to. 2016 was the height of the Iran deal era and it also illustrates that despite the US seeking to work with Iran and cases against Hezbollah’s drug trafficking even being slowed down in the US, the organization did not moderate but was actively thinking of ways to kill tens of thousands of people.... Ammonia nitrate.....

The stuff was confiscated years ago and never moved to a safe place. An accident waiting to happen. Incompetence. I see the same in Dr. Fauchi.

Since this warehouse exploded folks are trying to “pin” this on someone—Hezbollah, Mossad, the US...

There was a fire in the building next door. That was pretty obvious. It was obvious that fireworks components were being expended.

Why is it such a leap of faith that it spread.

Sometimes the simplest explanation is the most accurate.

Was it criminal to leave 2,750 tons of crap in a warehouse for year? Yes. Was it terrorism? Probably not.

I’d say that storing 2,700 tons of ammonium nitrate anywhere in the Middle East is an “accident” waiting to happen.

“....A source quoted in a cache of leaked diplomatic cables and other reports noted that Hezbollah’s supply of some explosive material had been cut off over the last decade. Hezbollah also allegedly sought to get the ammonium nitrate via Syria, bringing in thousands of tons of it from Homs. Hezbollah sought to dominate the agriculture ministry in Lebanon since 2009 to get a hold of the material. ...”

...question is was this load of ammonium nitrate stored for a bomb detonated accidentally by Hezzbollah? Israeli agents? Or a Sunni group?

Why would anyone leave 28 railcars of fertilizer in storage for six years?

You wouldn’t.

It was probably being used in smaller quantities for explosives.

You mean that they didn’t accidentally spill thousands of gallons of diesel fuel on the 2,750 metric tons of ammonium nitrate stored in the warehouse? Shocking!

Lawyers.

Not saying that’s what happened here, necessarily.

Bibi said about 2 years ago that Hezbollah was stockpiling weapons, missiles, and explosives close to the airport there in Beirut.

I agree, it was not an accident.

When you post an article use the original headline, don’t make up your own.

No no no. It’s a massive conspiracy. It’s ALWAYS a massive conspiracy. Just you wait, somebody is gonna tie this to Malaysia 370 next week. The simple explanation is for sheep.

You don’t put a bomb next to the water in an industrial area where half the blast force is going into the ocean where it will destroy nothing. You don’t put it where it’s shielded by a tall building, and you don’t put it in an industrial zone which has a relatively low population.

Disinformation, IMO. That pile of nitrate could have been set off by a damp rat turd.

I will not go into my background, but do realize ammonium nitrate requires detonation ( not fire- not an ignitor but a detonator)) to create an explosion. Israel has stated numerous times that building was storing arms shipments from Iran....to many factors pointing to another huge victory against terrorism.
