Four wounded after bomb explodes in southern Lebanon

Beirut: Four people have been Wounded in bomb explosion in Shehabiyeh, South Lebanon late on Wednesday, a state-run national news agency rreported.

Al Manar television, mouthpiece of Hezbollah, said on its website that the 10:30 pm blast near the Shehabiyeh mosque was likely a leftover Israeli cluster bomb.

Israel dropped more than one million cluster bombs on south Lebanon during its 34-day war against Hezbollah in the summer of 2006.

The high "dud" rate of the small-bombs means that they effectively have become land mines littered across Lebanon, waiting to explode when someone touches them.
