Images from Ban Cluster Bombs protest Dublin Sunday 25th May

category international | anti-war / imperialism | news report author Monday May 26, 2008 20:57author by Paula Geraghtyauthor email mspgeraghty at yahoo dot ie Report this post to the editors

Hundreds gathered to protest against the destruction and devastation caused by Cluster Bombs as part of an international series of events around a conference calling to make the banning of Cluster Bombs happen.

Cluster bombs can be brightly coloured, like toys which explains why so many children globally lose limbs from picking them up.
Years after conflict ends cluster bombs are still live and active. They are design and delivered by companies such as Raytheon in Derry and are not smart bombs. they target civillians and act as collective punishment.

It is widely known at the end of the 2006 Israeli attack on South Lebanon 4 million of these bombs were dropped in the last 72 hours of that war. Israel knew they couldn't win so this was their payback, death, disfigurement and poverty.
