| UN denounces Israel cluster bombs |
|
Advertisements [?]
30 August 2006
 The UN's humanitarian chief has accused Israel of "completely immoral" use of cluster bombs in Lebanon. UN clearance experts had so far found 100,000 unexploded cluster bomblets at 359 separate sites, Jan Egeland said. Israel has repeated its previous insistence that munitions it uses in conflict comply with international law. Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert rebuffed UN chief Kofi Annan's calls for a swift end to Israel's air and sea blockade of Lebanon. After talks with Mr Annan, Mr Olmert said the siege would only be lifted once the ceasefire terms were fully implemented. This included the release of two Israeli soldiers whose capture by Hezbollah militants sparked the conflict. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/5299938.stm |
