The terrorists didn't need an excuse to put bombs in pagers. The person you were responding was talking about the Hezbollah, though.

"EU and the Arab League"
EU does not classify Hezbollah as a terror organisation, only its military wing.
> Hezbollah are classified as a terror organisation by the UN
That is not true. Lots of countries and organizations consider them a terrorist organization, but the UN isn’t one of them.
Ah, quite right, I mean the EU, apologies.
> As of October 2020, Hezbollah or its military wing are considered terrorist organizations by at least 26 countries, as well as by the European Union and since 2017 by most member states of the Arab League, with the exception of Iraq and Lebanon, where Hezbollah is the most powerful political party.[374]
> The countries that have designated Hezbollah a terrorist organization include: the Gulf Cooperation Council,[375] and their members Saudi Arabia,[376] Bahrain,[377] United Arab Emirates,[376] as well as Argentina,[378] Canada,[379] Colombia,[380] Estonia,[381] Germany,[382] Honduras,[383] Israel,[384] Kosovo,[385] Lithuania,[386] Malaysia,[387] Paraguay,[388] Serbia,[381] Slovenia,[389] United Kingdom,[390] United States,[391] and Guatemala.[392]
The EU doesn’t consider Hezbollah a terrorist organization either — only its military wing. Much like people who considered the Provisional IRA to be terrorists but not Sinn Féin.
