  "abstract": "Hitti et al 1 report on the asymmetric attack targeting members of Hezbollah in Lebanon, using booby-trapped pagers. They reinforce the importance of effective major incident planning, illustrating the pressure such attacks place on hospitals. A major incident preparedness leader for many years, the UK urgently needs to refocus on this domain: a survey of type 1 emergency departments 2 found that 70% lacked confidence they could manage something similar. But this attack raises issues far beyond the mechanics of hospital-level incident responses.",
