  That link does nothing to support a claim that the ammonium nitrate in Beirut is linked to Hezbollah.

  Nowhere it is said in the article that the Hezbollah is responsible for the presence of the ammonium nitrate. Yes they did use it in the past, like almost all terrorist organization/militia, but there is no evidence that they had anything to do with its storage in the port. The AlJazeera article explain very well how it came here. Rumours of the responsibility of the Hezbollah, or Israel depending on which side of the fence you are, for the blast has been going on since day one, and there hasn't been any substantial proof. Don't get me wrong, I have no sympathy for the Hezbollah, but lets be honest, the tragedy can be very well explain by the sheer level of incompetence and corruption of the Lebanese government (in which the Hezbollah also plays a big role).

    Why always no one has sympathy for Hezbollah and yet people are divided on whether they have sympathy for Israel or not? They both have grievances against each other and both are set to exterminate the other. The USA picks sides but we don't have to. And I don't care if they say insensitive things or whatever. War is way bigger than words and both of them commit atrocities, that much is obvious. Both of them can also see history from a certain perspective and justify themselves, and I can see that in both cases also.

  It seems that article only mentions the Beirut explosion in passing?

  Yes, their mustache-twirling nefarious plot to have large quantities of a relatively stable substance placed in a warehouse in the incredible hope the warehouse might some day also contain tons of fireworks, 10k tires, and detonation cord to set things off.
