> Icom exported its IC-V82 two-way radio to regions including the Middle East until October 2014, when it stopped making and selling the devices, the Osaka-based company said in a statement Thursday. It has also halted production of the batteries needed to operate the main unit, it said.

Seems I was right. Explosive charges in (aftermarket) batteries. Jury's still out if the trigger was internal to the "battery", or if the devices were *also* hacked (draw-based trigger)
