The judge overseeing Lebanon's probe of the Beirut port explosion issued an arrest warrant on Thursday for a former government minister, the state-run news agency reported.
Youssef Fenianos, a former public works and transportation minister, had refused to appear for questioning before Judge Tareq Bitar. Fenianos, who ran the ministry from 2016 to 2020, is among several government officials summoned by Bitar for alleged involvement in the blast.
