Interesting comment about the exploding Hezbollah pagers

[yaesu]

A former British Army munitions expert told the BBC that the devices would have likely been packed with between 10 and 20 grams each of military-grade high explosive, hidden inside a fake electronic component. This would have been armed by a signal, something called an alphanumeric text message, according to the expert.

The pagers that exploded were new and had been bought by Hezbollah in recent months, a Lebanese security source told CNN.

The source did not provide any information on the exact date the pagers were purchased or their model.
A Hezbollah official told Associated Press that the pagers used by the group first heated up, then exploded

The pagers were from the Iranian Tellerim Company, and arrived in Lebanon three months ago. This is unconfirmed.
