   I understand one went off during a funeral for a person killed   
   by a pager the day before.

   "Phones are particularly appealing because they can be used to keep tabs on   
   the targets in the weeks or months leading up to the attacks before   
   transforming into bombs at the critical moment. “Hezbollah and all the other   
   terrorists know that if you are holding a cellular phone, it’s very easy to   
   locate you by GPS,” Assa says."   
      
   The idea is old. When the Germans were retreating in Italy during WW2 they   
   left a working radio set tuned to their frequency with its headphones   
   booby-trapped with explosives.   
      
   Allied agents planted explosive devices under German train cars that were   
   triggered by the sudden darkness of entering a tunnel. The label said it was   
   a monitoring device, strictly forbidden to disturb.   
      
   Stuxnet caused Iranian Uranium enrichment centrifuges to overspeed and   
   self-destruct.   
      
   Except for the destruction this isn't much different from the deception   
   magicians practice.
