Leahy, American Activists, Victims Appeal For Cluster Bomb Ban

DUBLIN, Ireland - American activists and global victims of cluster bombs united Monday in a demand that governments - particularly the United States - ban the weapons because they kill and maim too many civilians. U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., was among those attending the talks in Dublin.

They made their appeal four days before negotiators from 110 governments are expected to unveil a treaty restricting the development, sale and use of cluster munitions. The pact would be formally signed in December in Norway.
