BEIRUT (Dispatches) – Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement said Friday it had filed slander lawsuits against an ex-parliamentarian and a political party who allegedly claimed the movement was responsible for the Beirut port blast.
The explosion of hundreds of tonnes of ammonium nitrate fertilizer at the Beirut port on August 4 was Lebanon’s worst disaster.
It killed more than 200 people, wounded at least 6,500 others and ravaged large swathes of the capital.
