10.Afghan Bombs (us airforce)
A boy in Afghanistan had his hand blown off after mistaking a cluster bomb for an emergency food parcel. When US airforce began bombing Afghanistan in October 2001. They also dropped thousand of emergency food parcels for civilians.
However,the bombs and food parcels were similar in size and both wrapped in yellow plastic making them almost indistinguishable.
Children picked up the brightly coloured bombs, mistaking them for the humanitarian aid packages.By doing so they would unwittingly denote the bombs killing themselves in the process.
