Trail of Exploding Pagers in Lebanon Runs to Taiwan, Hungary

The trail of the pagers that blew up in Lebanon runs as far as Taiwan and Hungary. Beirut has accused Israel’s Mossad spy service for what intelligence experts call one of the most audacious “supply-chain” operations in the history of spycraft. Bill Faries reports on Bloomberg Television.

Turn off the elevator music when people are talking please.

[topherken]

Can you turn down that annoying background music? Try -30db

[mukamuka]

No movie would even come close to this...this is like next level

[thatfatman]

Everyone just ignoring who actually did this and pretending that it has something to do with the manufacturer.

[christoforos]

There's some fucky shit going on in this world

[roberteltze]

With around 2000 people carrying these pagers it's almost certain some of them flew internationally and the explosives weren't detected by airport security. This should be terrifying for the airline industry.

[focalized]

The phrase "who's that blowing up your pager?" is literal now.

[cyb_structure]

It is literally endless where this type of an attack can be deployed into ANY product.

We are in a new era.

[codlevelup]

There should be a ban on Assault Pagers

[lkwdryan]

Pagers?? I didn’t even know you could buy a pager anymore, let alone get service for one. The more you know……

[bradreed]

This sets a terrifying precedent. Regardless of who did this, this will be a moment in history that will increase fear.

[gregparrott]

As said by others...TURN OFF THE DAMN ELEVATOR MUSIC

[khrttartrahht]

I keep wondering how TF the Hollywood would even make a movie about something this far out?

[atomicskull]

The more they say they weren't involved the more I don't believe them.

[kjw]

Why not pick up phone and ask netanyahu? Kirby? Pretending there is no way to know!?

[HeWhoMustNotBeNamedYouKnowWho]

Not calling a terrorist attack and terrorist attack
Shows you the hypocrisy of usa

[inandoutoftheabyss]

Israel has taken responsibility for this and you didn’t even imply they did the attack or even say their name until 80% through the video

[OnTheRocks]

BAC Consulting was a shell-op specifically designed to get a contract from a legitimate company to produce electronics; they then modified them with explosive charges. In a sane world, there would be some criminal charges for those that set up BAC because they clearly set up an operation to modify these devices and place explosives in them. Also, whoever is behind BAC (we know who) is probably in violation of the Geneva convention in regards to booby trapping consumer products. But, we live in Hell-World so eventually no one will be held accountable for turning consumer electronics into bombs.

[rustycarter]

Sounds like someone wanted to scare them back to using cell phones.

[JimmyD]

This would have happened in the country that distributed them, not in the country that made them. If they were distributed out of Iran, that's where you need to look.
