The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced on Tuesday it has reached no firm conclusion regarding the cause of the Aug. 4 explosion in the port of Beirut which killed nearly 200 people, according to Reuters.
In an official statement, the FBI spokesman said, “No such conclusion has been reached.”
“Further questions should be directed to the Lebanese authorities as the lead investigators,” the spokeswoman added.
Other U.S. and European government agencies closely following the investigations into the explosion strongly believe that the blast was accidental.
It is worth mentioning that, About 200 people were killed in last month’s explosion (4th August) and a swathe of Beirut near the port was ruined.
The blast was caused by a huge store of ammonium nitrate that had been kept at the port in poor condition for years.
