PRISTINA, Sept 11 (Hina) - In the last three months explosions of land mines killed or maimed 232 persons in Kosovo, said the head of the demining centre in Kosovo, John Flenegan, on Saturday. Flenegan told reporters that the priority
task would be now to remove unexploded bells of cluster bombs dropped by NATO aircraft. It is necessary to determine the exact spots where the bombs had been thrown, or snow can soon cover sites and render it more troublesome for us to find mined spots, he explained. The objective of the centre is to clean mines from all residential areas and settlements by the end of this year.(hina) ms
