More Victims for the Israeli Cluster Bombs
Cluster bombs kill de-mining specialist, wound three others.
Cluster bombs killed one de-mining specialist and wounded three others on Thursday as the experts were continuing efforts to clear the unexploded munitions dropped by Israel during last summer's war. The casualties occurred in two separate incidents, one in the village of Kfar Rumman, in the Nabatiyah region where the British Mine Advisory Group is working. MAG official Andy Gleeson told AFP that one man was killed and two seriously wounded in the blast. All three were Lebanese.
A Swedish man, working to clear munitions in Qaaqaiyat al-Jisr village, in the same region, was wounded in similar circumstances, Lebanese police said.
Nabatiyah is one of the most heavily munitions-polluted districts in Lebanon. An estimated one million cluster bomblets dropped by Israel failed to explode during its 34-day war.
