Japan's Icom 'cannot confirm' authenticity of devices in Lebanon blasts

OSAKA/TOKYO -- Japanese radio equipment maker Icom on Thursday said "it is not possible to confirm" if two-way radio devices bearing the Icom logo and among those that exploded in Lebanon were shipped from the company.

Icom is investigating the matter in the wake of reports saying Icom devices used by Hezbollah detonated on Wednesday across Lebanon's south and in the suburbs of Beirut.
