CYA in Beirut

As noted previously, the Lebanese military court is involved in the investigation of the Beirut port blast. How odd, therefore, to read here that months ago the military court disclaimed jurisdiction over the storage of the explosive materials. Excerpt:

"On Jan. 27, State Security asked to investigate the storage of the ammonium nitrate at the port, and five months later, instructed the government commissioner at the military court to deal with the matter. The military court, which was approached because of the substance's highly explosive nature, responded that it was not its jurisdiction."

So which is it: jurisdiction or no jurisdiction?
