\n WASHINGTON \u2014 President Donald Trump said U.S. military generals have told him that they \u201cseem to feel\u201d the massive explosion that rocked Beirut on Tuesday, killing at least 70 people, was a \u201cterrible attack\u201d likely caused by a bomb.<\/p>\n

Trump was asked why he called it an attack and not an accident, especially since Lebanese officials say they have not determined the cause of the explosion. He told reporters at the White House: \u201cIt would seem like it based on the explosion. I met with some of our great generals and they just seem to feel that it was. This was not a \u2014 some kind of a manufacturing explosion type of a event. \u2026 They seem to think it was a attack. It was a bomb of some kind, yes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump offered condolences to the victims and said the United States stood ready to assist Lebanon. \u201cIt looks like a terrible attack,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

A Pentagon spokesman declined to comment on the matter Tuesday night, referring questions back to the White House.<\/p>\n

The explosion flattened much of a port and damaged buildings across the capital, sending a giant mushroom cloud into the sky. In addition to those who died, more than 3,000 other people were injured, with bodies buried in the rubble, officials said.<\/p>\n

The cause of the blast was not immedia<\/a>tely known, but initial reports suggested a fire had detonated a warehouse at the port. Abbas Ibrahim, chief of Lebanese General Security, said it might have been caused by highly explosive material that was confiscated from a ship some time ago and stored at the port. Local television channel LBC said the material was ammonium nitrate.<\/p>\n

Witnesses reported seeing a strange, orange cloud like that which app<\/a>ears when toxic nitrogen dioxide gas is released after an explosion involving nitrates.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
