(AP) del.icio.us Digg It!  new Last update - 20:53 19/12/2007 Report: Cluster bomb left over from war kills man in S. Lebanon By The Associated Press Tags: Lebanon War, Tyre, Israel  A cluster bomb left over from the Second Lebanon War exploded in south Lebanon on Wednesday, killing a 35-year-old man, the state-run news agency said. The bomb went off as Mohammad Hamzeh was collecting firewood in the town of Zibqine near the southern port city of Tyre. According to the National News Agency, Hamzeh was instantly killed. More than 30 people have been killed by cluster bomb and land mine explosions in Lebanon since the 2006 summer war between Hezbollah and Israel. Advertisement The United Nations and human rights groups accuse Israel of dropping about 4 million cluster bomblets during the war. Up to 1 million failed to explode and now endanger civilians in the area. When cluster bombs, which look like huge canisters, are dropped, they open in flight and eject dozens or hundreds of small bomblets across the ground and vegetation, often across a wide area. Some fail to explode on impact and detonate later when moved. Related articles: IDF commander: We fired more than a million cluster bombs in Lebanon 3 men hurt while rescuing shepherd from S.
