Gold Apollo denies ties to explosive pagers used by Hezbollah, says BAC produces them

[JP] Taiwan's Gold Apollo denied responsibility for explosive pagers used in Lebanon, stating they were made by BAC, which licensed its brand.

Taiwanese pager firm Gold Apollo said on Wednesday that Budapest-based BAC Consulting made the pagers used in Lebanon's detonations. The firm added that it had only licensed its brand to the company and was not involved in the production of the devices.

At least nine people were killed and nearly 3,000 wounded when pagers used by Hezbollah members detonated simultaneously across Lebanon on Tuesday. According to a senior Lebanese security source and another source, explosives inside the devices were planted by Israel's Mossad spy agency.

Reuters analyzed images of destroyed pagers, which showed a format and stickers on the back that were consistent with pagers made by Gold Apollo.

#7 #$
Les sanglots longs
Des violons
De l’automne
Blessent mon coeur
D’une langueur
Monotone.

Tout suffocant
Et blême, quand
Sonne l’heure,
Je me souviens
Des jours anciens
Et je pleure;

Et je m’en vais
Au vent mauvais
Qui m’emporte
Deçà, delà,
Pareil à la
Feuille morte.

Verlain and the action message for the Resistance. Good One EC!

#8 So he spoke in prayer, and Phoebus Apollo heard him. Down from the peaks of Olympus he strode, angered at heart, bearing on his shoulders his bow and covered quiver. [45] The arrows rattled on the shoulders of the angry god as he moved, and his coming was like the night. Then he sat down apart from the ships and let fly an arrow: terrible was the twang of the silver bow.
