Subject: Kosovo Minefield - Made In Britain


British Harrier jets are dropping cluster bombs on Kosovo
and Serbia which create their own instant minefields.

The British RBL755 is an unguided "free fall" bomb
weighing 600 pounds. Each of these bursts open, 
showering  147  "bomblets"  the size of a drinks can
over a wide area.

Between 10 and 30 percent of the bomblets don't explode.
They create a big  minefield  of unexploded bombs.

Long after the Kosovo Albanian refugees have returned
home, peasants and children will be blown apart
by these British bombs for many decades to come.
