Norwegian Man Wanted in Connection with Exploding Pagers in Lebanon
Authorities issue international warrant as multi-country investigation seeks to unravel the deadly attacks linked to Hezbollah.
- Exploding pagers and walkie-talkies in Lebanon last week resulted in at least 39 deaths and over 3,000 injuries, with Israel widely blamed.
- Rinson Jose, a Norwegian-Indian man linked to the supply chain of the devices, has gone missing after traveling to the U.S. on September 17.
- Investigations reveal the devices were licensed by Hungarian firm BAC Consulting but manufactured by other entities, including a Taiwanese company, Gold Apollo.
- Lebanese officials confirmed the explosives were concealed inside the batteries of the pagers, making detection extremely difficult.
- Authorities from Norway, Taiwan, Hungary, and Bulgaria are collaborating to trace the origin and modification of the explosive devices.
