The National News Agency correspondent reported that the judicial investigator in the Beirut port explosion crime, Judge Tarek Bitar, referred to the Public Prosecution a subpoena against former Prime Minister Hassan Diab, after the formation of the new government, thus amending Diab's place of residence, i.e. the Grand Serail, included in the first subpoena.

In turn, Judge Ghassan Al-Khoury referred the memorandum to the General Directorate of the Internal Security Forces for implementation, knowing that Al-Bitar had scheduled an interrogation session for Diab on the twentieth of September.
