yep. BTW, what would stop Iran or other terrorist group from using what is available? All that fertilizer just sitting there for the people with right ability and evil intent.

They aren’t officially. Trump passed that EO asking everybody to think real hard about designating them as such, but it’s not happening any time soon.

I don’t think anyone has announced for certain what triggered it.
IOW, they know ammonium nitrate was the source, but what ignited the explosion?
Forbes just released an interesting article (linked below) about it most likely not being Israel; but they didn’t totally dismiss the question of the explosion being caused by a group.
Was Israel Responsible For The Beirut Explosion?

I’d probably go with the definition found in 8 USC 1189, minus the requirement that the organization be foreign-based.
So far, Antifa hasn’t been formally designated as a terrorist organization by the federal government. If you have information to the contrary, feel free to pass it along.

A friend in Sweden told me that news all over the Middle East says this was an attack. They are claiming that it was a huge weapons stash. Take it for what it's worth

You don’t know what caused the explosion. You don’t know if it was an accident or not. None of us do. I’m willing to bet that no one knows.......yet.

It was an arms depot.
Missiles from Iran.
First, the warheads were destroyed. Listen to them going off.

Tell your friend to tell the Middle East to stop being racist....Brian Stelzer said it was an accident and OMB.

According to USA Today- this is what Trump actually said
quote:
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump said Tuesday that U.S. military officials advised him that a massive explosion in Beirut appeared to be an "attack," though he offered little detail to explain how his administration had come to that conclusion.
At least 60 people were killed and thousands were wounded in an explosion that caused widespread damage in the Lebanese capital. Trump said he had been briefed by “our great generals” and that they “seem to feel” that the explosion was not an accident
"According to them – they would know better than I would – but they seem to think it was an attack,"

Terrorism is defined in the Code of Federal Regulations as

the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives
Seems to fit Antifa like a glove...technically the BLM organization too.

Look to my post on 2nd page about midway down.

Some of those gifts from Obama stored in there?
I have read more than 1 person speculating on the use of some laser directed energy weapon. I remember reading about those years ago when there were people claiming they were using them to start fires in California.
Or the whole thing might just be a terrible accident. Who knows

I mean every video I’ve seen certainly has some munitions looking explosions and noises.
Fireworks warehouses explodes next to giant fertilizer warehouse sounds a bit too convenient a story.
But I will say this, the absolute quickest way for trump to lose this election and destroy his base and support is to get involved in a hot war in the Middle East before November.

Yeah, that is a baseless slander. Israel is a lot more strategic than that explosion and pretty much only strikes when strategically necessary.

You DO grasp the difference in saying it LOOKS like one and that it COULD HAVE BEEN one, or that he suspects it was one right ?
Here , tell me this doesn't look familiar.

I am by no means an expert but it sure looked as if those munitions were going off in the same building judging from the closest rooftop video and then the photo of the 3 men in front of the bags of chemicals.
