UN envoy: Israel's imprisonment of PA children feeds violence
---

Also, Coomaraswamy said she asked Israel's Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni to hand over to the UN technical teams computer generated data for cluster bombs used during the Lebanon war.

She said general data for the cluster bombs were passed on, but that was not enough to locate them. The United Nations and human rights groups say that Israel dropped about 4 million cluster bombs on Lebanon during the war, and up to 1 million failed to explode, and now act as mines that could explode at any time.

Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev said Israel would continue to cooperate with the UN on the matter.

According to the UN, unexploded cluster bombs have killed 29 people and injured 215 since the war ended on August 14. 90 of those injured had been children.
