'The complexity needed to pull this off is incredible. It would have required many different intelligence components and execution.
'Human intelligence (HUMINT) would be the main method used to pull this off, along with intercepting the supply chain in order to make modifications to the pagers.'
Hezbollah pager explosions: How could Israel have triggered the deadly blasts?
Middle East politics after deadly pager blasts in Lebanon
Taiwanese tech firm Gold Apollo denies manufacturing exploding pagers used in apparent attack on Hezbollah.
Taiwan’s economy is also dominated by small and medium enterprises such as Gold Apollo, which was founded in 1995 and specialises in pagers and small wireless communication devices used by restaurants and hotels.
Chiang said the incident in Lebanon highlighted the need for Taiwanese tech companies to pay more attention to their supply chains, even as Taipei has signed onto initiatives like the US-led Clean Network to keep Chinese tech out of Western telecom infrastructure.
. . .Jhy-Chern Liu, a professor at the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, said he was “shocked” at the news and that people on the island were concerned.
“Even though Taiwan has been very close to the US in all aspects, I do not believe that any companies in Taiwan would be involved in a deadly plot like this, considering that Taiwan is an open society and a full democracy. Any hint of ideas like this is simply impossible and unthinkable,” Liu told Al Jazeera.
“I do not think the Gold Apollo company would be so unprofessional or stupid to be involved …,” Liu added.
While Taiwan is unlikely to have been directly involved, the incident nonetheless raises uncomfortable questions . . .
