Beirut Explosion: Trump Says Generals Told Him Blast Was 'Bomb of Some Kind'

Trump said Tuesday that generals told him the explosions in Beirut, Lebanon were due to "a bomb of some kind" and he referred to the incident as an "attack." A massive explosion at Lebanon’s main port rocked Beirut, overwhelming hospitals dealing with the injured and dying. The blast was so large it blew out windows across the capital and was even heard from Cyprus. Authorities say it was caused by highly explosive materials at the port, but didn’t say whether it was an accident or an attack. The casualty toll continued to climb through the night on Tuesday, with the health minister saying around 11 p.m. that 67 people were killed and some 3,600 injured.
