"The pagers went to whichever terrorist they went to."
That's the part that doesn't make sense to me.
Okay - say this was done to the IRA in the 80s. How would the British government know which pagers were going where?
Say Motorola dispatched 5,000 pagers in the first quarter of 1984 - how would the UK Government (in this scenario) know which pagers were going where.
Fairly straightforward, one large packing case from the Acme Pager Corp marked 'not for terrorists',
you need one consignment - which goes to a single distributor "Peace lovers of Gaza" -
getting them to go off together - you just need one signal ( sort of each one has the same pin)
compare to Dublin massacre of special branch ( IRA) 1917 cringe making - or Blowing up St Davids Hotel 1947 ( more cringe making ) - you also need - - lax security
SP, we don't know for certain how the attacks were carried out.
If the pagers were doctored, it could have taken months to work out where they were getting them from, was it one source or was it many?
Once the supply routes were worked out, the ones behind the attack would have then had to arrange for the doctored ones to go to those unsuspecting suppliers.
Those suppliers would give or sell them to Hezbollah who would then dish them out.
Nothing new under the sun, is there? It is clever and subtle enough to be Mossad. As someone said, the pagers were inended for Hezbollah activists (fair game) and as ever, innocents were caught up in it.
OH has told me that in Korea, when the American troops fled - leaving arms like Bazookas lying around - theChinese troops found and doctored them by hammering a small dint inside the barrels. Result? A lot of headless American troops when they reclaimed their arms and attempted to use them.
'Man's inhumanity to man' --- I've heard that somewhere.
Doesn't matter if I approve or disapprove - it is a fact and human behaviour.
Some say the 'how' is beyond the pay grade of the average ABer.
no there are a few ex servicemen with experience of the bomb squad. it is such a spectacular coup , we will get some sort of story
( obit of an SAS man I knew, I cdnt find one sentence that was true, since it was the Times that was a first for me)
Ynna 19:13 //Do you think Hezbollah gives a damn about a child being killed237sj?If they dont,why should we?//
Because we're supposedly better than them.
Even worse is that you seem to be celebrating the fact that a child was killed, as much as you were any terrorists. I guess if they off Lebanese kids before they get the chance to grow into terrorists, that's just the same eh?

that I notice does seem to be a theme
flatten a school ( to get the tunnels under them of course) and you get rid of a score or so of re terrorists
flatten a hospital and hey presto no one-legged terrorists
