A cluster bomb from the Hezbollah-Israel war in southern Lebanon exploded Friday, wounding two members of an international team of land mine clearing experts, Lebanese security officials said, according to AP. The two experts' legs were wounded, and they were rushed to the government hospital in the southern Lebanese town of Marjayoun where their conditions were described as serious. The explosion took place in a field near the village of Deir Mimas south of Marjayoun and three kilometers (two miles) west of the Israeli border. The wounded land mine clearing experts were identified by their employer as David Alderson, a Briton, and Damir Paradzik, a Bosnian. They work for ArmorGroup, a London-based company that has been clearing unexploded ordinance and cluster bombs in south Lebanon since September for the U.N. Mine Action Coordination Centre, based in Tyre.
