Reports on Wednesday detailed the FBI\u2019s statement that said more than 550 tons of ammonium nitrate exploded in the city on Aug. 4.<\/p>\n<p>However, in 2013 more than 2,700 tons of the chemicals were unloaded from a Russian cargo ship. Many officials in Lebanon have privately said they believe a lot of the shipment was stolen.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, those in the capital city said their effort to hold officials accountable have been hampered.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">FBI probe shows amount of chemicals in Beirut blast was a fraction of original shipment <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/26IhJ7i5XA\">https:\/\/t.co\/26IhJ7i5XA<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/gXXgM8ExSv\">pic.twitter.com\/gXXgM8ExSv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Reuters (@Reuters) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Reuters\/status\/1421157417002405895?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 30, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe blast happened after the collapse and both clearly made it evident that they wouldn\u2019t have happened if there was minimum accountability in Lebanon,\u201d said Nizar Saghieh, head of research and advocacy. \u201cBut for 30 years, we were building a very strong and enabling system that leads to a total escape from punishment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The FBI report doesn\u2019t provide an indication into where the remaining chemicals may have gone. More than 200 people died and thousands more were injured in what was described as one of the largest non-nuclear explosions ever recorded.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/fla-gov-desantis-issues-executive-order-allowing-parents-to-reject-masks-for-children\/\">Fla.
