BEIRUT — Lebanese President Michel Aoun says the probe into a devastating blast in Beirut is “very complex” and won’t be finished quickly. ADVERTISEMENTThe cause of the fire that ignited nearly 3,000 tons of ammonium nitrate stored at Beirut’s port remains unclear. Aoun said the probe is divided into three parts. “We had the determination to reach conclusions quickly but we found out that the issues are very complex and require time,” said Aoun. Lebanon and Israel are technically still at war, and Hezbollah has engaged in occasional clashes along the border.
