But now it appears that the Israelis set up front companies across Europe to manufacture the pagers themselves, embedding small amounts of PETN explosive inside, ready to be detonated by a coded message.

An eight-year-old boy who fell to his death from a window in Nottingham had severe learning disabilities and a history of escaping from his home, neighbours have revealed. The schoolboy, named locally as May Hamid, fell around 30ft from a third-floor window in his house on Costock Avenue, Nottingham, shortly before 7.15pm yesterday. He was said to be the second youngest of four children and was non-verbal and autistic, requiring him to attend a special school to cater to his needs.
