Exploding Pagers Case: Hungarian Opposition Leader Files Bogus Police Report

Előd Novák, Member of the National Assembly and Deputy Chairman of the Hungarian far-right party Mi Hazánk Mozgalom (Our Homeland Movement), has announced in a video posted on his social media that he is filing a police report against BAC Consulting Ltd for aiding and abetting a terrorist act.

As we also reported, on 17 September hundreds of pagers exploded in the hands of Hezbollah operatives in Lebanon, killing 12 and injuring over 2,000 more, according to the reporting by Reuters. The following day, a series of incidents of walkie-talkies exploding killed 20 more people.

Hezbollah blamed the Israeli government for the attack, however, Israeli officials have not officially taken credit for it. MP Novák, adopting Hezbollah talking points, accuses Israel of having committed ‘an act of mass terrorism’ that was ‘obviously conducted by [Israeli intelligence agency] Mossad’.
