BEIRUT (Reuters) - The probe into last year's deadly Beirut port blast has been cleared to resume after being suspended for more than a month on legal claims against its lead investigator, judge Tarek Bitar, a judicial source said.

A Beirut court rejected the last of the suits preventing Bitar from questioning top officials on Tuesday.
