Jose’s cousin Aju John said to Manorama Online, “He never mentioned to me that he owns a company in Bulgaria or has any business connections there.”
In a shocking development, Lebanese authorities have identified Rinson Jose, an Indian-born entrepreneur, as a key suspect in the recent deadly pager blasts that have rocked the country. The blasts, which have killed at least 15 people and injured dozens more, have sent shockwaves across the nation and raised questions about the motives behind the attacks.
A Brief Profile of Rinson Jose
Rinson Jose, a native of Kerala, India, moved to Lebanon in the early 2000s to pursue his business interests. He established a number of companies in the country, including a telecommunications firm that specialized in providing pager services to local customers. However, it appears that Jose’s entrepreneurial ventures took a dark turn when he allegedly used his company as a front to smuggle illegal goods into the country, including explosives and other dangerous materials.
The Investigation Unfolds
Lebanese authorities launched an investigation into the pager blasts after a series of explosions rocked several areas of the country. The blasts were caused by small devices attached to pagers, which were designed to detonate when a message was received. As investigators delved deeper into the case, they discovered that Rinson Jose was a key player in the plot.
Motives Behind the Attacks
While it is still unclear what motivated Rinson Jose to carry out the attacks, investigators believe that he may have been seeking to settle scores with rival business interests or political opponents. Some reports suggest that Jose may have been seeking revenge against a local businessman who had been competing with him for contracts.
Consequences of the Attacks
The news of Rinson Jose’s involvement in the pager blasts has sent shockwaves across Lebanon and beyond. The government has vowed to bring Jose to justice and is working closely with international authorities to ensure that he is apprehended and prosecuted. The attacks have also had significant consequences for the Lebanese economy, with many businesses and residents affected by the blasts. In response, the government has announced plans to increase security measures across the country and to provide support to those affected by the attacks.
