Cluster Bomb Wounds MAG Deminer
A member of the demining team Mine Action Group (MAG) was wounded on Thursday from a cluster bomb left over from the Israel-Hizbullah war in 2006.
The National News Agency said Abbas Ahmed Akout, 29, suffered wounds in his hands and feet when the bomb exploded Thursday morning in the southern Lebanese town of Western Zawtar.
Akout was taken to al-Najda al-Shaabiya hospital in Nabatiyeh for treatment, NNA said.
Israel has reportedly dropped about four million cluster bomblets on south Lebanon during the July-August 2006 war.
As many as one million bomblets failed to explode and now endanger civilians.
