In the midst of a global hunt for the source of the pagers that caused deadly explosions in Lebanon, Bulgaria and Norway have emerged as key players. The devastating attacks this week in Lebanon, which killed 12 people and injured over 2,300, have intensified the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. While Israel has not directly commented on the attacks, security sources are pointing fingers at them for orchestrating the explosions.
The investigation is unfolding across multiple countries, with possible leads in Taiwan, Hungary, and Bulgaria. The mystery of how the pagers were weaponized to be remotely detonated remains unsolved. Similarly, questions linger about the hundreds of hand-held radios used by Hezbollah that also exploded in a subsequent wave of attacks. The theories range from intercepted pagers being rigged with explosives post-production to Israel masterminding the entire supply chain of destruction.
Bulgarian authorities have launched an investigation into a company suspected of having ties to the deadly transactions, raising more questions than answers. The company in question, Norta Global Ltd, based in Sofia, is under scrutiny for allegedly facilitating the sale of pagers to Hezbollah. The financial trail points to transactions amounting to 1.6 million euros being routed through Bulgaria to Hungary. However, verification of these claims is still pending.
Further complicating the situation, images of the destroyed pagers suggest a connection to Taiwan’s Gold Apollo, with Hungarian company BAC Consulting being involved in their production. The owner of BAC Consulting, Cristiana Barsony-Arcidiacono, has remained elusive, raising suspicions about her role in the deadly transactions. Amidst the chaos, questions about the involvement of other companies and individuals continue to surface.
As the investigation unfolds, the role of various entities in the deadly supply chain remains unclear. The potential consequences of this international web of terror are far-reaching and demand swift action to hold those responsible accountable. As the world grapples with the fallout of these attacks, the urgency of identifying and addressing the culprits cannot be understated. The pursuit of justice in this complex and ever-evolving scenario remains paramount.
