"According to local media, the head of Lebanon's customs authority said he had sent six memos to the country's judiciary warning that substances being stored in the port were dangerous to the public."

"Pure" solid AN is quite stable, but if the compound is mixed with any contaminants, even in small traces, the mixture becomes much more prone to detonation -- which is why there are normally stringent government guidelines for how to treat and store it properly."

Assuming he sent one once a month it was sitting there 6 months. Would that make it more explosive?
