Lebanon’s top prosecutor, judges charged over Beirut blast

THE Lebanese judge probing the devastating Beirut port blast has charged Prosecutor-General Ghassan Oueidat and three judges, a first in the country’s history, a judicial official told AFP today.

Judge Tarek Bitar decided yesterday to resume his probe into the deadly August 2020 mega-explosion despite strong political pressure that had led to a suspension of his work for more than a year.
