ALERT: There has been a mass-casualty terrorist attack in Lebanon and Syria. Radio wave pagers were exploding causing many deaths and thousands of injuries. Many civilians and bystanders have been harmed. Questions and cautions include:
- Who on earth could be so sociopathic, immoral, and cowardly to devise and carry out this heinous terrorist attack?
- Have any of these explosive pagers been carried into other countries or public transportation systems?
- It is being called a 'cyber attack'. Most likely the batteries were triggered to explode. But were any of the pagers created with a plastic explosive material?
- Which corporations or companies were involved with the manufacturers (likely Motorola brand), and who were the vendors and distributors of the pagers, and have any of them — at any time — been associated with any forthcoming suspects?
More information and some answers to these questions may be found in the articles below and in the days ahead.
