Annan denounces Israel use of cluster bombs
"UN Secretary General Kofi Annan on Thursday denounced Israel's use of cluster bombs during its massive month-long offensive on neighbouring Lebanon ...
"He said the UN mine action coordination Centre had assessed 'nearly 85 per cent of bombed areas in south Lebanon' and identified '359 separate cluster bomb strike locations that are contaminated with as many 1,00,000 unexploded bomblets.'
"'What's shocking and I would say completely immoral is that 90 per cent of the cluster bomb strikes occurred in the last 72 hours of the conflict when we knew there would be a resolution, when we knew there would be an end,' he said."
