Lebanese Officials Say Boy Was Killed by Israeli Cluster Bomb

Security officials in Lebanon are attributing the death on Sunday of a 12-year-old boy to a previously unexploded Israeli cluster bomb. The officials say the boy and his brother were picking olives in a south Lebanese village when the bomb exploded. The United Nations’ Mine Action Center says 150 people have been killed or wounded by cluster bombs since the war in Lebanon ended. Both sides are reported to have used cluster-bombs during the war.
