On Tuesday
explosions rocked the Lebanese capital Beirut.
The causes of the detonations remain unclear.
US President Donald Trump
relativized his first statements that it was allegedly an attack and did not rule out an accident on Wednesday.
According to the Lebanese authorities, at least 135 people were killed and more than 5,000 others injured by the two massive explosions at the port. Dozens of people were still missing. Large parts of the city were badly damaged. 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate had exploded, which had been stored in a warehouse for years without appropriate precautions. Ammonium nitrate can be used in fertilizers or to make explosives.
House arrest for those responsible
The government announced that it would hold those responsible for the explosions accountable. She called on the military to place those responsible for storing ammonium nitrate under house arrest.
The warehouse with the materials was in a shabby condition and had cracks in the walls, officials from the AFP news agency said. Security forces conducted an investigation last year because the building was emitting strange smells. The investigation came to the conclusion that the “dangerous” material must be removed from the hall. But this did not happen.

Ex-ship owner rejects joint responsibility
Meanwhile, the former owner of a cargo ship does not feel responsible. His Moldovan-flagged ship “Rhosus” is said to have brought large amounts of ammonium nitrate to Lebanon, which, according to initial suspicions, could be responsible for the explosion at the port. The country’s authorities forbade the crew to continue their journey in November 2013 and confiscated the cargo as it was classified as dangerous, Russian businessman Igor Grechushkin told the Izvestia newspaper. According to his presentation, Lebanon justified its decision with missing documents.
In addition, the authorities had concerns about the transport conditions of the dangerous substance, he said. Because the ship was not allowed to continue, its business was paralyzed. The businessman claimed that he had to pay a fine and went bankrupt. He does not know who was then responsible for the “Rhosus”. The cargo ship was en route from Georgia to Mozambique in southern Africa. Russian captain Boris Prokoshev told the newspaper that additional cargo was due to be picked up in Beirut. Because the port tax had not been paid, the ship was arrested. Other reports also mentioned that the crew had run out of fuel and provisions. All crew members have left the country, said Prokoshev.

In the border area between North and South Tyrol there may be a wolf on the move. Authorities have reported several sheep and goats found dead.
In South Tyrol three registered sheep and in North Tyrol two registered goats were found dead. The South Tyrolean authorities informed the state of Tyrol about the livestock cracks on the Pfitscherjoch – the transition from the Tyrolean Zillertal to the Pfitschertal, the state announced on Thursday. There is a suspicion of a wolf as the culprit.
Goats may have crashed
“The South Tyrolean colleagues examined the dead sheep and took samples for a genetic examination. The surveys by the South Tyrolean authorities suggest a wolf,” said Martin Janovsky, an expert on large carnivores in Tyrol. The two dead goats were believed to have crashed, so they were disposed of without prior examination.
