A personal clash happened yesterday between supporters of Amal Movement and Hezbullah, that ended in the death of one.
Hezbullah delivered the killer to security forces. However regarding the limited anti Nasrallah slogans, Amal issued a statement strongly condmening that. https://t.co/9bhHLxXl4a

🔁 RT @timourazhari: Incredible work by @ALJADEEDNEWS on the #BeirutBlast. They just aired a video showing the inside of the hangar where the ammonium nitrate was stored, with some bags looking like they’re partially empty.
The video was taken by State Security through a hole in the wall...

It's been clear for some time that western reporters are trying to pin the shipment of ammonium nitrate on Hezbullah. The last attempt, by Der Spiegel, is that the true owner of the ship carrying the ammonium nitrate took a loan from Hezbullah connected bank?
Hezbullah's bank?

Questions Swirl around the Cargo that Destroyed Beirut
The explosion in Lebanon leads back to an abandoned ship in Beirut that had arrived in the city carrying 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate. Reporting by DER SPIEGEL and OCCRP has determined that the ship’s owner has connections to Hezbollah’s bank.
Reading more into it, it then happens to be called a bank used by Hezbullah and not a Hezbullah owned bank in Tanzania like they previously and on purpose subliminally tried to push this thought. It happens to be connected allegedly to a Syrian gov front. That only? No ... https://t.co/rsSc1SsI0h
The bank happens to be also part in the Russian U.S. election drama.
It seems the Trump campaign is also accused of beinh part of money laundering schemes using this bank. The bank is also accused of helping Kazakhstan billionaires! https://t.co/G5VR4Wjcgo

So unless anyone wants to claim that internationally organized crime, Trump, Russia, Hezbullah, and Syria are all behind a money laundering scheme in Cyprus, think again about the narrative they're pushing. But, when and where did Hezbullah's relationship to this bank start from?
The first mention of the word Hezbullah along side FBME bank is in an article from 2014. No extra information was given. BBC mentioned that in 2015 too.
The article mentions FinCEN's report. https://t.co/D2udh6FZPD

The FinCEN final report was issued in 2015 accusing the bank of money laundering, sanction evasion, fraud, and other financial crimes.
The final report does does not name Hezbullah or any other side. So where did the Hezbullah connection pop out? https://t.co/46iaYBf6Tz

The earlier report however, the only official time Hezbullah was connected to this bank is an allegation from 2008, that a certain Hezbullah financer, unnamed, deposited money there in 2008.
That's officially the only connection Hezbullah had to this bank according to the USA. https://t.co/SvXVqR5I03

What's more intriguing is that being the only connection and which is not enough to push the narrative of Hezbullah using the bank for years and so on, is that the report and other sources do not connect Hezbullah's top financer Iran to it.
Here one would be amazed, that Hezbullah be financing itself and not being dependant on Iran. Besides, the only connection to FBME was in 2008, in relation to a customer deposit, and not financing or running the bank.
Is this the first time USA accuses Hezbullah? No. Examples are shown below.

Are all USA accusations true and not just meant to target the community of Hezbullah?
A few years ago (2011), the USA sanctioned a Lebanese bank called "The Lebanese Canadian bank", for allegedly having ties to Hezbullah.
You can notice the standard accusations.
