Reversion on pager article

Good afternoon,

I removed your addition of further quoted material (from Article 7.3) about booby traps in the Lebanon pager attacks article. The secondary sources provided for the current statement didn't mention Article 7.3 at all, so you would've had to add Boothby to back that up. However, I read Boothby and he says:

"...if later available information confirms the illegality of the weapons as such, the paragraph 3 provisions become potentially moot"

And:

"The pager is being adapted to convert it into a booby-trap of the sort addressed by Article 7(2) of Amended Protocol II and on that basis it would appear, considering what is currently known and assumed, to be an unlawful weapon."

Ergo, Article 7.3 is probably not relevant. If there's another source who says differently, please raise it on the talk page and we can see if there's consensus to add it or not. At the moment, most RSes don't mention 7(3) at all, so it seems unlikely to be notable.
