An investigation into the Lebanon pager explosion has turned toward a company owned by Rinzon John, a Malayali with Norwegian citizenship. According to international media reports, his company was involved in the financial transactions related to the purchase of the pagers.

Electronic pagers that were popular status symbols in the 1990s are used for communication precisely because they are old school.

Pagers, used every day by health care professionals, became a deadly weapon Tuesday as thousands of them simultaneously exploded in Lebanon.
