France’s Macron Heads To Lebanon After Deadly Mega-Blast
French President Emmanuel Macron makes a statement as he arrives for a European Union Council in Brussels on July 17, 2020. French President Emmanuel Macron was expected in Lebanon Thursday, two days after a monster blast sowed unfathomable destruction in Beirut and brought Paris’s Middle East protege to its knees.
According to several officials, the explosion was caused by a fire igniting 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate fertiliser stored in a portside warehouse. Many questions were being asked as to how such a huge cargo of highly explosive material could have been left unsecured in Beirut for years. In France, prosecutors on Wednesday opened a probe into the blast over injuries inflicted to 21 French citizens.
