Last update - 21:54 18/06/2007 Land mine from Second Lebanon War wounds foreign ordinance expert By The Associated Press A land mine left after the Second Lebanon War between Israel and militant group Hezbollah wounded a foreign demining expert, the Lebanese state-run National News Agency reported Monday. The agency said Mertzi Zouzi, from Zimbabwe, was working for the United Nations Mine Action Coordination Center near the south Lebanon town of Jezzine, some 35 kilometers from the Israeli border, when a mine he was attempting to deactivate went off.

Separately, security officials in Beirut said Lebanese troops dismantled Monday two unexploded rockets also left over since the war in the town of Bayada near the southern port city of Tyre. A villager found the two shoulder-fired anti-tank projectiles as he cleared the rubble of a collapsed wall, the officials said under conditions of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media. The UN and human rights groups have said that Israel dropped approximately 4 million cluster bomblets during the war. UN ordinance clearing experts say that up to 1 million of the cluster bombs failed to explode and now endanger civilians in the zone. Lebanese authorities and the UN have called on Israel to provide a map of the land mines it planted in southern Lebanon during its occupation of the region, which ended with its complete withdrawal in 2000 Bookmark to del.icio.us   Fragile cease-fire Olmert: Gaza cease-fire is fragile, may be short lived.
