“At least 78 people have been killed and some 4,000 wounded in a massive explosion at the port in the capital, Beirut.” Media reports.

The council meeting at the Baabda presidential palace which was also attended by Prime Minister Hassan Diab, Resolved that:

– An investigation committee has been tasked to say who was responsible for the blast within five days.

– The families of victims will be paid compensation.

– Import traffic will be routed to the Tripoli port in northern Lebanon.

PM Diab declared Wednesday day of mourning threatening to revenge on whoever is responsible for the disastrous blasts.

“What happened will not pass without accountability,” said Diab.”Those responsible for this catastrophe will pay the price.”

The explosion caused trauma across the city and its outskirts causing widespread damages on lives, buildings and other properties.

The cause of the explosion was not immediately clear. Officials linked the explosion to some 2,700 tonnes of confiscated ammonium nitrate that were being stored in a warehouse at the port for six years.

Others pinned Isreal to have a hand in the bombings however, Isreal officials refuted the allegations arguing that Israel has nothing to do with a huge explosion at the Beirut port area.

“Israel has nothing to do with the incident,” the official said on condition of anonymity.

Among the dead is Secretary General of the country’s oldest political party; the Lebanese Kataeb Party. Party officials have announced.

The headquarters of the Kataeb Party is located right next to the port where the blasts occurred.

Lebanese President Michel Aoun assembled the country’s High Defence Council following the explosion.

The blast, which flattened much of the capital’s port, was felt across the city as a giant mushroom cloud rose above it.
