TOKYO, Sept 19 (Reuters) - Japanese radio equipment
maker Icom Inc 6820.T said on Thursday that it was
investigating the facts regarding news reports that two-way
radio devices bearing its logo have exploded in Lebanon.
Hand-held radios used by armed group Hezbollah detonated on
Wednesday across Lebanon's south, after similar explosions of
the group's pagers the day before. Images of the exploded
walkie-talkies showed labels with "ICOM" and "made in Japan."
Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed Icom said in a statement that it
would release updated information on the matter as it becomes
available on its website.
