Mines Advisory Group (MAG) Technical Field Manager Nick Guest inspects a Cluster Bomb Unit in the southern village of Ouazaiyeh, Lebanon, Thursday, Nov. 9, 2006, that was dropped by Israeli warplanes during the 34-day long Hezbollah-Israeli war.

The U.N. has estimated that Israel dropped as many as 4 million of the bomblets in southern Lebanon, with perhaps 40 percent of the submunitions failing to explode on impact.  IRINnews
