Taiwan and Hungary on Wednesday denied making pagers that exploded while being used by Hezbollah members in Lebanon, killing 12 people.
The New York Times, citing American and other anonymous officials, reported that Israel had inserted explosive material into a shipment of pagers from Taiwan's Gold Apollo.
Taiwanese prosecutors launched an investigation.
Gold Apollo denied producing the devices and instead pointed the finger at its Budapest-based partner BAC Consulting KFT.

Turns out the Hungarian company was also just a “middle man”, they are a 1 person operation without a proper office. They subcontracted a Bulgarian firm. Very convoluted story, but I’m sure investigative journalists will figure it out in a few weeks.
