OSLO (Reuters) - Norwegian police have issued an international search request for a Norwegian-Indian man linked to the sale of pagers to the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah that exploded last week, they said on Thursday.

Rinson Jose, 39, disappeared while on a work trip to the United States last week. He is a founder of a Bulgarian company that was reportedly part of the pager supply chain.
