Experts visiting the Thai-Cambodia border have found almost half the sites they toured were contaminated by unexploded cluster bombs.
Cluster Munitions Coalition (CMC) spokesman Laura Cheeseman told Radio Australia’s Connect Asia program that officers from two member organisations visited 12 border sites and found the deadly munitions at five of them.
Cluster munitions are bombs that contain smaller bomblets or fragments and are often accidentally detonated by civilians long after battle.
