_News_ | *New documents reveal consultant who mediated ammonium nitrate import* 👇 Intelligence Online has uncovered new documents revealing the role of a consultant who mediated the deal to transport the ammonium nitrate that later exploded at the Beirut port. The report, published yesterday, said the consultant holds both Lebanese and French citizenship and was involved in signing the transport contract. The contract was described as “vague” and lacking clear terms on who was legally responsible for storing the hazardous materials. The publication claimed that these new documents could pave the way for holding more parties accountable by revealing the chain of transport and storage that led to the explosion. It added that the case might take on an international dimension because of concerns about the consultant’s dual nationality. The French judiciary is already conducting a special investigation into the August 4 explosion because three French citizens were among the victims. Last April, a French judicial delegation visited Beirut and met with Judge Tarek Bitar, who is leading the case. This visit was part of ongoing cooperation and information sharing to support the investigation.
