Siege of Beirut - Lebanon

Back


Aug 2006 Beirut was once famously dubbed 'the Paris of the Middle East.' Now, it lies in ruins. Most of the bombs used were produced in America and sold on the condition they would not be used in civilian areas. "These are our weapons, our cluster bombs", states US investigator Prof Lamb. He's investigating claims Israel violated the terms of its agreement with America by using cluster bombs in residential areas. If proved, these allegations could lead to a ban on further weapons sales to Israel. But for the people in Beirut, this is scant consolation. "We have no gas, food or blankets. There's nothing to live on," one woman laments.
