- Gold Apollo says BAC Consulting produces model of pagers used in Lebanon blasts
TAIPEI: Taiwan’s Gold Apollo said on Wednesday BAC Consulting KFT based in Budapest has a license to use its brand and made the model of pagers used in the detonations in Lebanon a day earlier.
“Regarding the AR-924 pager model mentioned in the recent media reports, we clarify that this model is produced and sold by BAC,” Gold Apollo said in a statement.
Earlier on Tuesday, Gold Apollo denied reports that it made the pagers that were used in the detonations in Lebanon.
At least nine people were killed and nearly 3,000 wounded when pagers used by Hezbollah members detonated simultaneously across Lebanon on Tuesday.
Images of destroyed pagers analyzed by Reuters showed a format and stickers on the back that were consistent with pagers made by Gold Apollo.
Hsu said the pagers used in the explosion were made by a company in Europe that had the right to use the Taiwanese firm’s brand.
