Components for pagers used in Lebanon blasts not from Taiwan, minister says
Components used in thousands of pagers that detonated in Lebanon on Tuesday were not made in Taiwan, Taiwan’s Economy Minister Kuo Jyh-huei has said.
Taiwan-based Gold Apollo said this week it did not manufacture the devices, which targeted the Hezbollah group, and that Budapest-based company BAC, to which the pagers were traced, had a licence to use its brand.
It is not clear how or when the pagers were weaponised so they could be remotely detonated. The same applies to the hundreds of hand-held radios used by Hezbollah that exploded on Wednesday in a second wave of attacks. The two incidents killed 37 people and wounded about 3,000 in Lebanon.
According to BAC there is no manufacturing there. Where were these things made.
