The model of pagers used in detonations in Lebanon were made by Budapest-based BAC Consulting, Taiwanese pager firm Gold Apollo said on Wednesday, adding it had only licensed out its brand to the company and was not involved in the production of the devices.

The pagers, deemed by Hezbollah to be safer than cell phones, were likely rigged with explosives before they were delivered to Lebanon, experts said.

Gold Apollo, a wireless communications device manufacturer in Taiwan, said it did not make the pagers used in the Lebanon explosion attack.
