Boy, 7, critically wounded by bomb

BEIRUT, Lebanon, March 27 (UPI) -- A 7-year-old boy was critically wounded Friday when a cluster bomb exploded in a southern Lebanese village, security sources say.

The unidentified sources said the boy suffered serious injuries in the village of Mazraet Helta as a result of the blast and has been hospitalized, the Kuwait News Agency, KUNA, said.

The incident occurred as U.N. Coordinator in Lebanon Michael Williams asked Israel for specific details regarding any dangerous ordnance left in Lebanese territories following a summer 2006 assault.

The Israeli ordnance has been blamed for scores of deaths in Lebanon, along with an unspecified number of injuries, the news agency said.
