BEIRUT, 22 March, 2021 (TON): Dangerous materials were found in the warehouses of the Zahrani oil installations, Hassan Diab caretaker Lebanese PM said.

On Friday, Diab said, “German company Combi Lift, hired by the Lebanese government to identify hazardous substances across the country after the huge deadly blasts at the Port of Beirut on August 4, 2020.”

According to the PM, the review of the report said the Lebanese atomic authority confirmed the materials in Zahrani as nuclear substances, noting they should be dealt with as soon as possible.

Investigations pointed to the roughly 500 tons of ammonium nitrate left at the port as the cause of the explosions at Beirut's port that killed at least 200, wounded about 6,000 others.
