| Small Arms: The Danger of Unexploded Cluster Bombs |
|
This video was filmed in Southern Lebanon by independent photographer John Rodsted. He narrates his walk through a field full of these hazardous weapons, remnants of the fighting between Hezbollah and Israel in 2006. Rodsted explains that these M-85 cluster munitions "shouldn't exist" because they have supposedly fail-safe self-destruct mechanisms. Unfortunately, these mechanisms are far from fail-safe, and these duds will lie like landmines, ready to kill civilians, until they are cleared. Read more about the problem of cluster munitions. |
