MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The UK Fire Brigades Union has joined the Amnesty watchdog group’s initiative to make the United Kingdom demand an international investigation into the 4 August explosion in Beirut, the group announced on Monday.
The organisation claims that the Lebanese authorities are not interested in conducting a transparent and impartial probe into what happened.
On 4 August, the Beirut port was devastated by a blast, which was believed to have been caused by the improper storage of ammonium nitrate. The explosions shattered the port and the city, killing at least 204 people, injuring many others, and knocking down or damaging houses and vehicles.
