[ALMASDARNEWS] The Secretary General of the Kataeb Party, Nizar Najarian, was reported dead after suffering a severe injury at the party’s headquarters during the massive blast at the Port of Beirut on Tuesday.
According to LBCI, the party’s secretary general died as a result of a severe head injury at the party’s headquarters, Beit al-Wassit (Central House), in Beirut.
Several politicians have mourned his death, including the President of the Kataeb Party of Leb
 ...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...

The Lebanese Health Ministry has reported that as many as ten people have been killed as a result of the earth-shattering kaboom at the Port of Beirut.
Civil defense units are now combing through several areas around the earth-shattering kaboom’s epicenter to help civilians and put out fires.
Those responsible for Beirut 'catastrophe' will 'pay price': PM
[Al Ahram] Lebanon's prime minister vowed Tuesday that those responsible for two massive blasts in Beirut's port, which killed at least 50 people and injured thousands, would be held to account.
"What happened today will not pass without accountability. Those responsible for this catastrophe will pay the price," Hassan Diab said in a televised address.
Diab also appealed for international assistance to help Lebanon, which is already mired in its worst economic crisis in decades.
"I am sending an urgent appeal to all countries that are friends and brothers and love Lebanon, to stand by its side and help us treat these deep wounds," the prime minister said.
A security bigshot said earlier that the earth-shattering kabooms that shook the entire capital could be due to "kabooms" confiscated and stored in a warehouse "for years".
Diab in his speech promised announcements about "this dangerous warehouse that has been in existence for six years, since 2014".
