Gia Lai Province, Vietnam -Three children were killed this week and three others injured when they discovered a cluster bomb left over from the US-Vietnam war and played with it as if it were a toy. The children, ranging in ages from two to eleven years old, found the cluster bomb in a river near their homes in Vietnam’s central highlands and attempted to remove the BB-like pellets on the outside of the bomb casing

The resulting explosion killed three children, aged six, nine and eleven years old, immediately and three others remain hospitalized.
