Japan's Icom said it was highly unlikely that wireless devices that exploded in Lebanon were the company's products. Pictures of the walkie-talkies used by Lebanese armed group Hezbollah that exploded on Wednesday showed labels reading "ICOM" and "made in Japan".

Japanese radio equipment maker Icom said it no longer produces or sells two-way radio devices which reportedly exploded in Lebanon.

The walkie-talkies that exploded in Lebanon Wednesday have not been made for over a decade, according to Japan's Icom Inc. The company's brand name was on the devices.
