Aoun says he knew of Beirut port chemicals before blast
Lebanon's President Michel Aoun stated he was informed of the 2750 tons of ammonium nitrate at Beirut port nearly three weeks before the explosion and ordered action, though he said he lacked authority over the facility. The blast killed about 150, injured thousands, and caused extensive damage as investigations continue.
