'It must've been quite some time in planning' - How were the pager attacks conducted? | DW News

Officials in Lebanon say at least nine people, including a child, have been killed, after pagers used by Hezbollah exploded across the country. Iran's ambassador to Lebanon is among the over2,800 injured by the simultaneous blasts. Hezbollah blames Israel for the explosions and says the attack will not go unpunished. There's been no immediate comment from the Israeli military.

Get ready for DW to start promoting Lebanon's right to defend itself. Or maybe not.

[ThianDeVries]

Is this what happened to the president of Iran?

[omerdayan]

Is this caption for real?!
This was targeted against hezbolla only !
Are you saying that attacking TERRORISTS - is a terror attack ?!
Shame on you.

North korea and china may not have been so crazy as we initially thought.

Tom Cruise knows where Shelly Miscavige is.

[evaavfc]

Lebanon needs to ban the use of pagers in public.

[mimikrya]

To me, as a layman, it is not surprising at all to perform such an action technically. Today, ordinary household appliances are time-programmed when they will break down. On the other hand, there are corruptible people everywhere. I only wonder where are the limits of human morality and ethics?

[Phantom-zd]

If this is legal, then anyone can be a target.

[patrickgz]

who ever it was has put an unprecedented security risk question on technology

If that would have happened in Israel or the US you wouldn‘t have asked wether or not it is an act of terrorism.. you would have been sure it is

Swansea is in south Wales not England. That's like saying washington is in Canada. Try looking at a map

So you can label "Made in Taiwan" even it was manufactured in Europe.
Xu Qingguang, chairman of Taiwan Golden Apollo, clarified that the explosion pager was not made in Taiwan and had nothing to do with them.

Xu Qingguang pointed out that he signed a contract with the European distributor BAC three years ago, and the other party assisted in distributing many Golden Apollo products. Later, the boss Tom hired a group of engineers to design the pager for this explosion, and told him that after all, the company assists in distributing products. He hoped that Apollo's name could be used for advertising and promotion, so he agreed to use his name and signed a two-year contract.

So Hezbollah threatens to shoot MORE rockets...
Also who has ordered the flowers for the IRAN EMBASSY in Lebanon?

Be very careful about what technology you use, and from which companies. now we saw a clear example of life in danger and being handicap for rest of your life

[wanderer]

It's not an attack. Those "people" received a notification about the need to show up in the International Criminal Court.

[Subgunman]

Ingenious!
What’s next? The call to prayer systems used in the UK? As they say at AT&T, "Reach out and touch someone!"

[ngsheungcheung]

Once a pager received message and vibrating, a button on it required a press to stop.
