    This is a never ending story as details come out. Read more at Red State blog.

    Now, a report published in the New York Post reveals that the Israeli intelligence service, Mossad, purportedly intercepted Hezbollah's shipment of pagers and loaded them with PETN, a potent high-explosive.

    PETN — Pentaerythritol tetranitrate — is structurally similar to nitroglycerine, and like nitroglycerin, it has been around a while, having been created and patented in Germany in 1894, and used in military applications by Germany in World Wars 1 and 2. The use of a German-created high explosive by Mossad to ruin the whole day of a bunch of Hezbollah terrorists, well, if that's not the greatest irony of the year, it will do until a greater example comes along.



    Another post from Red State blog why bad guys shouldn't take a call/page from the boss.

    Now we learn that the command was a spoofed message from Hezbollah leadership.

    The exploding pagers that wounded thousands of Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon Tuesday were reportedly detonated by a message impersonating the leaders of the recognized terrorist group.
    Hezbollah militants all across Lebanon and parts of Syria received a message that appeared to be sent by the group’s leadership to their new pagers at 3:30 p.m. But in reality, the fake message was the trigger that set off explosives hidden in the devices, officials told the New York Times.
