Norway’s security police (PST) have begun a preliminary investigation into reports that a Norwegian-owned company was linked to the sale of pagers to Lebanese group Hezbollah that exploded last week, a police lawyer told Reuters.

“PST has initiated a preliminary investigation to determine whether there are reasons for starting a (full) investigation on the basis of allegations in the media that a Norwegian-owned company may have been involved in the dissemination of pagers to Hezbollah,” PST lawyer Haris Hrenovica said in a text message to Reuters.

Earlier he told Norwegian news agency NTB that the police had no specific suspicions at this time.
