2,750 tons of highly explosive ammonium nitrate was held Beirut's port for six years after been seized from an abandoned ship, state media reported officials as saying.

"Shortly afterwards the vessel was abandoned by her owners after charterers and cargo concern lost interest in the cargo," the report by Baroudi & Associates said. Baroudi & Associates said that it took on a legal case to force authorities to let the ship's crew go home "given the 'dangerous' nature of the cargo."
A likely story.
