            https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-09-19/walkie-talkies-in-lebanon-blasts-were-made-at-least-a-decade-ago

            Japan’s Icom Inc., whose brand appears on walkie-talkies that exploded in Lebanon, said it halted production a decade ago of the model allegedly used in the attacks and is still investigating the situation.

            Icom exported its IC-V82 two-way radio to regions including the Middle East until October 2014, when it stopped making and selling the devices, the Osaka-based company said in a statement Thursday. It has also discontinued production of the batteries needed to operate the main unit, it said. The company earlier had warned customers that almost all IC-V82s on the market are counterfeit.

            Also, the president of the Taiwan pager company was interviewed by Taiwan authorities. And trying to find the link to a company called BAC in Hungary.

                    https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/trail-mystery-woman-whose-company-licensed-exploding-pagers-2024-09-20/

                    She speaks seven languages, has a PhD in particle physics, an apartment in Budapest plastered with her own pastel drawings of nudes, and a career that took her around Africa and Europe doing humanitarian work.
                    What Cristiana Barsony-Arcidiacono, 49, the Italian-Hungarian CEO and owner of Hungary-based BAC Consulting, says she hasn't done is make the exploding pagers that killed 12 people and wounded more than 2,000 in Lebanon this week.

                                      These Israeli tactics are terrorism, says Leon Panetta.

                                      https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/former-cia-director-leon-panetta-calls-israel-s-pager-explosion-operation-terrorism/ar-AA1r0Ymp


                                      During an interview with CBS News Sunday Morning, Panetta told anchor Lee Cowan that the action’s by Israel are ā€œa form of terrorism.ā€ Panetta then added that the action’s by Israel could lead to more deadly operations going forward in the war.

                                      PANETTA: The ability to be able to place an explosive in technology that is very prevalent these days. And turn it into a war of terror. Really, a war of terror. This is something new.

                                      COWAN: Is it terrorism?

                                      PANETTA: I don’t think there’s any question that it’s a form of terrorism…This is going right into the supply chain, right into the supply chain. And when you have terror going into the supply chain, it makes people ask the question, what the hell is next?

                                      COWAN: It sounds like you’re genuinely worried.

                                      PANETTA: I am. I am. This is a tactic. That has repercussions. And we really don’t know what those repercussions are going to be…The forces of war are largely in control right now. What’s going on?

                                      COWAN: Do you think there should be condemnation for it? Should other nations step in, including us?

                                      PANETTA: I think it’s going to be very important for the nations of the world to have a serious discussion. About whether or not this is an area that everybody has to focus on, because if they don’t try to deal with it now. Mark my word. It is the battlefield of the future.

                                      Just a reminder, Panetta was one of the 51 intelligence experts who said the laptop was Russian disinformation despite being verified by the FBI.

                                        John Brennan (another signatory to the letter) agrees.

                                          Wasn’t Panetta one of intelligence guys pushing the Iraq WMD line, too?

                                          Edit.. Autocorrect is getting worse. It was refusing to let me write Panetta and kept making it Panera.
