They’re saying it was a fireworks factory, I guess?
Didn’t realize fireworks could make that big of an explosion. I doubt anyone believes the official version of events.
Via Twitter:
I don’t know a thing about Lebanese politics so I don’t know what the Kataeb Party is, and I won’t pretend I do by running a quick Google search and then proclaiming myself an Expert On Lebanese Politics.
But given that a political figure was killed in the explosion, it doesn’t seem too outlandish to assume that had something to do with this.
