More than 4,000 people are wounded.
In his reaction, Trump suggested a “terrible attack” caused a “bomb of some kind”.
Trump revealed that he met with U.S. generals after the incident.
“They just seem to feel that this was not some kind of manufacturing explosion type of an event. They seem to think it was an attack. It was a bomb of some kind”, he told reporters.
Marwan Abboud, Beirut Governor, told a local radio station that more than 100 people remain missing, including several firefighters.
