Japanese brand manufacturer walkie talkies linked to explosions directed against an armed group Hezbollah who killed 20 people in Lebanon and wounded hundreds of others has said he could not have made the bombs.

“The bomb could not have been built into one of our devices during production. The process is highly automated and very fast, “So there’s no time for these things,” he said. Reuters Yoshiki Enomoto, director of ICOM, outside the company’s headquarters in Osaka, Japan.

The explosion of portable radios used by Hezbollah on Wednesday in the suburbs of Beirut and the Bekaa Valley followed a series of electronic pager explosions on Tuesday that killed at least 12 people, including two children, and wounded 3,000 others.

ICOM said it had stopped producing the radio models identified in the attack a decade ago and that most of those still on sale were counterfeits.

“If it turns out to be a fake, we’ll have to investigate how someone made a bomb that looks like our product. “If it’s genuine, we’ll have to trace it back to find out how it got there,” Enomoto said.
