    no way it was just the batteries.

    batteries burn but don’t detonate with shrapnel

    it was altered devices with explosives added.

      Yeah they got into the supply route and added c4 to all those pagers. Makes me wonder how many pagers or smartphones have added explosives still.

      Shrapnel, no, but Lithium-Ion does explode. Especially on a full charge
