Beirut blast investigator resumes work after two years: judicial
- Lebanese Judge Tarek Bitar resumed his investigation into the deadly 2020 Beirut port blast, charging 10 people including security, customs, and military personnel, a judicial official said.
- The explosion on 4 August 2020 killed more than 220 people and injured thousands, but no one has been held responsible for it, which was one of history's largest non-nuclear explosions.
- The investigation had stalled after accusations of bias against Bitar and lawsuits from officials named in the case, but resumed following the election of a new Lebanese President Joseph Aoun.
- UN Rights Chief Volker Turk called for an independent investigation into the explosion, stating that 'those responsible for that tragedy must be held to account'.
