Lebanon blasts: Qatar Airways asks passengers not to carry pagers, walkie-talkies from Beirut airport

Qatar Airways has asked the passengers flying from Beirut Rafic Harirl International Airport not to carry pagers and walkie-talkies on the flights after Lebanon banned their usage onboard due to fear of them being used as bombs. This comes as at least 37 people were killed and more than 3,000 wounded when pagers and walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah members exploded in two waves of attacks on Tuesday and Wednesday. Lebanon and Hezbollah, a heavily armed group backed by Iran, say Israel carried out the attack.
