6. So why is the originating story [5] written in Russian?

7. Here's the "original" story in Google Translated text

Dokha, 5 August - RIA Novosti. The head of the port of Beirut, Hasan Koretem, denied media reports that a pyrotechnics warehouse was located in the port next to the exploded hangar. "There is no pyrotechnics warehouse there," Koreytem said in an interview with Lebanese OTV. He stated that saltpeter was stored in the port according to a court decision, and the port authorities knew about the danger of the stored substances, but did not think that they were dangerous to such an extent. Earlier, the Lebanese TV channel LBCI reported that during a meeting of the Supreme Council for the Defense of Lebanon on Tuesday after the explosion, improper storage of 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate in one of the hangars in the port of Beirut, confiscated in 2014 from a dry cargo ship owned by the Russian owner of a Cypriot company, was cited as the reason for the incident. Rhonus, who went to Africa, but was forced by a malfunction to enter the port of Beirut. Lebanese media noted that a pyrotechnics warehouse could also be located next to the hangar. A powerful explosion occurred in the port area of ​​Beirut on Tuesday evening. According to authorities, the reason was improper storage of 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate, half of the city's buildings were damaged, and hospitals were overcrowded due to the large number of victims.

8. For Russian Eyes Only?

In summary I went to the old Russia workhorse newspaper Pravda.ru in Russian for Russians as you wont find it or anything about the Lebanon explosion on their Pravda.ru "English" You will have to look at the pictures and the cut and paste what is written in Russian into Google Translate. That led me to Hassan Koreytem who is either the Port Headmaster or something along that line. So thats when the myseldon.com site came up with Hassan Koreytem. Now there are stories being run in that the Lebanon Cabinet has voted to house arrest all Port management. Thats being run on Lebanon newspapers and Al Jazeera. The bottom line is it appears that Russia is running the narrative. Why? Is it all because of a dry cargo ship owned by the Russian owner of a Cypriot company,

200+ tons of Ammoniun Nitrate, seized 6 years ago, thats what happened

Wrong, I just searched for Hassan Koreytem + OTV on Google, using Opera, and the second result was the one you talk about.

Throwing into the Russian infosphere about the "Russian trace" in the explosion in Beirut was done in the best traditions of Russophobic propaganda, in the "highly likely" style.

The first publication took place on the regional website E1.ru. This site is owned by the Hearst Shkulev Media group of companies, owned by the American media conglomerate Hearst Corporation. After the publication, this "news" was instantly picked up by the Russophobic media in Russian, followed by the Western media.

Here is a classic example of the creation of fakes by the Western media.

There is an image floating around the net that is purportedly a picture of the warehouse within a week before the incident. The image shows TONs of Ammonium based chemicals, stacked on top of each other haphazardly.

The fireworks went first, then set off the ammonium nitrate.

The initial fire seemed to show fireworks going off in the smoke before the big explosion and ammonium nitrate is used in explosives, so this theory seems reasonable. It's not unreasonable to believe some fireworks spontaneously combusted and fueled the ammonium nitrate with particulates, esp if the nitrate sublimated as it heated up.

According to at least one report, there was welding going on, trying to fix an unsecured entryway.
