<\/a>FEATURE-Cluster bombs lie in wait for Lebanese children<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Alistair Lyon, Special Correspondent<\/p>\n

BINT JBEIL, Lebanon, Aug 25 (Reuters) – Like a small black football, it lies in the dirt not far from Haitham Daaboul’s front door in the southern Lebanese town of Bint Jbeil.<\/p>\n

It looks innocuous, but a careless kick from a passing child would detonate this cluster bomb, one of thousands of unexploded devices Israel scattered over the towns, villages and hillsides of south Lebanon during its 34-day war with Hizbollah fighters.<\/p>\n

The bomblets can maim or kill. In war time, they might hit guerrillas firing rockets. Now with a shaky truce in force, they lie where they fell, creating random minefields over wide areas.<\/p>\n

“We can’t let the children go outside. There are many cluster bombs in the streets,” said Daaboul’s wife Nadia.<\/p>\n

“We’ve told them to be frightened of things shaped like a ball, a plate, anything, even stones in the street,” she said.<\/p>\n

“It’s a real pain. The children are asking ‘how can we live like this? When can we go out? When can we have a normal life?'” [MORE<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
