Cluster bomb kills two boys in northern Vietnam

Officials in northern Vietnam say two schoolboys were killed and eight people injured, when a U.S.-made cluster bomb they were playing with exploded.

The bomb exploded last week in the small village of Dinh Tri about 60 km northeast of Hanoi after the boys had fished it out of a canal

Ten days ago, an 11-year-old boy and a woman were killed in a similar accident involving a cluster bomb.
