“No matter what crimes it committed, it grew up like a protected child in a wealthy home, whose parents smile proudly as it commits atrocity upon atrocity. No wonder today it feels free to boast openly about committing genocide.”

NEW

The Washington Post is out with new reporting on how the Mossad got those pagers into the hands of Hezbollah.

Hezbollah operatives were enticed by the bulky, rugged pagers that were pitched to them because they felt they could survive battlefield conditions.

They were waterproof and had an oversized battery that could operate for MONTHS without charging.

The pagers also allowed encrypted messages to be sent but there was a catch.

In order for the encrypted message to be read, the user had to press two buttons at the same time.

That’s how the Mossad insured that most Hezbollah members had the pagers in their hands when they exploded.

The pagers contained such a tiny amount of the explosive PETN that even if Hezbollah broke open the pagers, they wouldn’t be able to detect its presence.

So where did the idea come from?

The Mossad already got walkie talkies in the hands of Hezbollah back in 2015. The walkie talkies contained an extra large battery and also gave the ability of Mossad to eavesdrop on ALL Hezbollah communications, which it did for nine years.

I suppose the cast was right in saying one should watch the film again if they didn't understand what Shambala means. Then the writer might find answers to his many questions.

For eg, Ram (not Raj) gave Pema her wedding photos which he took during the ceremony. @minbahadurbham

[The Kathmandu Post @kathmandupost]

Picturesque Upper Dolpa and lingering questions

Despite some cinematic lapses, ‘Shambhala’ presents an evocative narrative on polyandry, motherhood, and loyalty.
