A thread on #BeirutExplosion, Hezbollah & #ISIS.
It is common in the #MiddleEast to steal seized goods/public storage and burn it after that. It is known for investors #BeirutPort is controlled by #Hezbollah. And #AmmoniumNitrate is the most loved substance for the global terror.

The #BeirutPort and Airport is very known to citizens of #Syria & #Lebanon how they are hard controlled by #Hezbollah and the loyalties don't hide this in their speeches or posts.

Tracing #Hezbollah activities in the last few years it is easy to follow how the #AmmoniumNitrate was part of it
in 2015 A #Cyprus sentenced a member Hezbollah and seized 9 tons of Ammonium Nitrates.

As #Germany banned #Hezbollah in May 2020, it was also about the #AmmoniumNitrate.

The #AmmoniumNitrate is the most loved substance for the terrorists all kind that's why many countries made hard regulations because of this.
an example from a report ask for hard regulation in Europe (2010) https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/MEMO_10_428

The #Hezbollah involved also in smuggling weapons and drugs world wide and has in the black market very strong relations to the #ISIS and #alQaeda. As they entered #Syria it was very remarkable to us how easy they can reach the #AmmoniumNitrate to build their #VBIED.
in 2012 I had a big tension with groups from Homs because of a report of buying weapons from #Hezbollah to fight #Assad. The idea of weaponizing the revolution was refused by us and specially if we know the weapons was sold by Assad and allies at the beginning.
After rising of radicals #alQaeda & #ISIS ( #Daesh) it was very easy also to follow the same networks and it is clear now who was supplying them with the #AmmoniumNitrate in #Syria & #Iraq and maybe other places globally.
I think hardly #Hezbollah was obstructing the destruction or the resell the #AmmoniumNitrate in favor of the Lebanese state. Hezbollah was selling nitrates world wide to every terror group and using them also for its own proposes.
