State news agency reports four officials charged with negligence leading to deadly explosion
The Lebanese prosecutor investigating last summer’s Beirut port explosion has filed charges against the caretaker prime minister and three former ministers, the state’s official news agency said.
Fadi Sawan filed the charges against Hassan Diab, who resigned as PM a few days after the blast but has stayed on in an interim capacity; Ali Hassan Khalil, a former finance minister; and Ghazi Zaiter and Youssef Fenianos, both former ministers of public works.
