'06 Oct 12 Harvest of death is reaped where the cluster bombs were scattered.....
Israel reacts to criticism from the UN and human rights groups by pointing out that cluster bombs are not illegal under international law. “Israel uses no weapons which are outlawed by agreed international conventions,” said Mark Regev, a Foreign Ministry spokesman. “These weapons are in the arsenals of Nato countries, and have been used by them.”......

Dalya Farran, of the UN Mine Action Coordination Centre, said that there were 770 new cluster bomb sites across south Lebanon but complained that they had received little help from Israel. “All we got were maps giving areas ‘highly likely’ to contain unexploded ordnance, but they didn’t mention what type and said they were not exhaustive,” she said.
