Part 7/9:
The analysis indicates that the operatives inserted explosive triggers into these pagers, which could be remotely activated. When a message was sent—possibly an internal or pre-programmed trigger—the device would detonate, functioning similarly to improvised explosive devices (IEDs) seen in other conflict zones like Iraq and Afghanistan.
The detonations may have been triggered by an error message or signal sent to these devices, resulting in explosions that took out targeted areas or personnel. This method exemplifies a blend of signals intelligence (SIGINT) and operational sabotage, showcasing a high degree of technical sophistication.
