It was Amonium Nitrate, but not the kind used for fertilizer. The tags on the bulk-bags labeled it as Nitro-prill, a pelletized form manufactured in Austrailia and used for blasting in mining and other industries. It came there on a Russian flagged vessel and was forbidden to continue on it's trip for some reason or other. My guess is that Hezbollah had a hand in it being detained. Had a friend that told me that his son, a pilot in one of the secret branches of the US Air Force called him about ten minutes after the blast and asked him if he was impressed with his work. Might be bullshit, or might not, but it sure took a lot of musloid ordnance out of the picture.
I bet the ayerabs don't like it when it happens to them. The pager caper was brilliant and I'd bet a bunch of $ that the Mossad carried out this one also. Coulda been See Eye Aaa I suppose, as payback for the 1983 barracks bombing.
there was a small fire caused by welding on the door. the fire department did a no-no. they hit the fire with a straight stream of water which caused combustion to become detonation. lack of training on haz-mats
This was a Mossad action probably in conjunction with the see-ay-aa. Ain't no way they're gonna let the camel jockeys have that much boom power. Not yet anyway.
That was an Ammonium Nitrate stockpile wasn't it ?
ReplyDeleteIf I remember right, yes.
DeleteAye. Fireworks too. Something about a low IQ region....

ReplyDeleteThat last poor bastard was inside the blast radius, but far enough away to see the blast...
