Daily SumUp

 In a surprising development, investigators probing the recent pager-triggered explosions in Lebanon have expanded their inquiry into Bulgaria and Norway. The attacks, which shook several locations in Beirut last week, were initially thought to be the work of domestic militant groups. However, fresh intelligence points to an international dimension, with communication signals traced to Europe.

Lebanese authorities have worked closely with regional security experts and now believe that the pagers used in the explosions were part of a sophisticated network. The devices, which are outdated in most parts of the world, were reportedly activated through encrypted signals sent via international routes. Investigators suspect that these routes led them to both Bulgaria and Norway, where sleeper cells or extremist operatives may have played a crucial role in facilitating the attacks.
