    US official alleges Hezbollah stashed ammonium nitrate throughout Europe

    US official alleges Hezbollah stashed ammonium nitrate throughout Europe

    Bet they sourced the ammonium nitrate from Beirut.

    A senior US official has accused Lebanon’s Hezbollah of stockpiling ammonium nitrate at sites in multiple European countries amid a push to get the European Union to designate the organization’s political wing as a terrorist group.The US State Department’s top counterterrorism official, Nathan Sales, told the American Jewish Committee on Thursday that Hezbollah had transported ammonium nitrate caches via Belgium into France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland and Greece.


    “Since 2012, Hezbollah has established caches of ammonium nitrate throughout Europe, by transporting first-aid kits whose cold packs contain the substance,” Sales told reporters on a conference call.


    “I can also reveal that significant ammonium nitrate caches have been discovered or destroyed in France, Greece and Italy,” Sales said. “We have reason to believe that this activity is still under way. Ammonium nitrate caches are still suspected throughout Europe,” particularly in Greece, Italy and Spain, he said, providing no further details.


    Ammonium nitrate is commonly used as a fertilizer but can be used as an explosive. A huge amount of ammonium nitrate being held at Beirut's port exploded last month, killing more than 200 and causing major damage to the Lebanese capital.
