"so it degraded and became unstable over time then?"

THAT I do not know, micro. I do not know what triggered the explosion. It could have been improper storage, or it could have been intentional. A lot of Lebanon is controlled by Hezbollah, so your guess is as good as mine.

Here is an advisory from the EPA on "Solid Ammonium Nitrate (AN) Storage, Handling & Management" if you're interested ...
