The Lebanese military discovered more than four tonnes of ammonium nitrate near Beirut's port on Thursday, a find that's a chilling reminder of the horrific explosion a month ago that killed 191 people.
French experts as well as the FBI have taken part in the investigation into the blast, at the request of Lebanese authorities. Their findings have yet to be released.
Meantime, rescue workers had detected signs of life on Thursday in the rubble of a building in a residential area of Beirut that had collapsed after the explosion, a rescue worker said.
