Survey finds 8 unexploded bombs in Yambio<http://catholicradionetwork.org/?q=node/12513> Anisa Radio Friday, November 29, 2013 - 09:14 *A team of experts working for the UN found eight unexploded aircraft bombs buried in Yambio.*
Western Equatoria TDI second in-charge Zachariah Awuol Awet told Anisa Radio that the contractors conducted a non-technical survey in 62 schools and bomas where communities reported unexploded ordinance. He said the TDI team located eight unexploded bombs in Yambio: four in Napere, one next to the state prison wall and the others in Pazuo, Kpirabe and Khor Habiba residential areas. Mr Awet added that the survey found no mines in Yambio. He disclosed that early in November the team successfully removed one bomb near Napere stream. Currently TDI experts they are digging another two bombs in Napere, near the Catholic Bishop’s House, and close to the state prison. Mr Awet cited improper information from the local communities and lack of a safe site to destroy the bombs as the biggest challenges the contractors found. He appealed to the local communities of Yambio to give all information so that TDI teams could act. Resident Amuna Ousman reported that 20 years ago she saw an aircraft dropping bombs in Napere: one killed one dog, but it entered the ground without exploding. - See more at: http://catholicradionetwork.org/?q=node/12513#sthash.Yuds2VBO.dpuf -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
