Boy killed after stepping on bomb

A ten-year-old boy has been killed and two others seriously injured after walking into a field of cluster bombs in Kosovo.

It brings the number of deaths from mines and unexploded ordnance to more than one-hundred since the end of the war nearly a year ago.

Meanwhile, it's emerged that United Nations de-mining teams have only just been given accurate details by NATO of cluster bomb sites in Kosovo.

The director of the UN's Mine Action Coordination Centre in Pristina said essential information had only been handed over after intense lobbying.
