Well Hezbollah do stockpile things like that near population centres and have been caught with tons of it before ... this is from 2015 and the article over a year ago... and the amount in London was not more than in Beirut but ... 3 TONS!! A full ton more than Oklahoma bombing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SB1jpUP2X4

An attack, probably not .... with Hezbollah's control of so many things in Lebanon and even seats in the gov't.. their fault.. maybe.... after all this was just a week ago..
