Human Rights Watch report.................... # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # According to Human Rights Watch statements by the militants of the terrorist so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant would have used cluster bombs in their battles, killing civilians indiscriminately. The group, with headquarters in New York, citing reports by local Kurdish officials and photographic evidence, said that the terrorists had used cluster bombs on at least two occasions, July 12 and August 14, in fighting around the town of Ayn al-Arab, in the province of Aleppo, near the border with Turkey, during clashes between terrorists and local Kurdish fighters. Cluster munitions contain dozens or hundreds of small bombs and rockets can be launched either from the sky, going to hit the area where they fall indiscriminately and often continuing to cause fatalities or injuries even at a later time, when unexploded bombs burst above: Any use of cluster munitions deserves condemnation, concluded the NGO.
