That is what I am thinking. All the small detonations leading up to the large deflagration lead me to believe it was not ammonia nitrate and that this is a cover up of an illegal explosive stockpile or manufacturing warehouse. The fact that the Lebanese government knows and already has a cover story prepared, along with a backstory from 2014 tells how large and deep the illegal operation was.
