BEIRUT: The FBI will join investigators probing the causes of a huge port blast that destroyed swathes of Beirut, a top diplomat at the US State Department said Thursday.
“The FBI will soon join Lebanese and international investigators, at the invitation of the Lebanese, in order to help answer questions that I know everyone has about the circumstances that led up to this explosion,” David Hale told reporters during a tour of a heavily damaged neighbourhood near the port.
