A pulsing signal was detected Thursday from under the rubble of a Beirut building that collapsed during the horrific port explosion in the Lebanese capital last month, raising hopes there may be a survivor still buried there. The effort unfolded after a sniffer dog belonging to the Chilean search and rescue team first detected something as the team was going through Gemmayzeh Street in Beirut and rushed toward the rubble of a building. The army later said that these containers were moved and stored safely in locations away from the port. So far, authorities have detained 25 people over last month's explosion, most of them port and customs officials. Also on Thursday, the lead investigator in the port blast, Fadi Sawwan, heard testimony from the country's caretaker prime minister, Hassan Diab, according to the official National News Agency.
