TYRE, Lebanon (AFP) - Nine-year-old Hussein Mahdi writhes in pain on a Beirut hospital bed, trying not to lie on burned parts of his body.

His doctors say the severe burns on his chest, face, hands, legs and back were caused by phosphorous incendiary bombs dropped by the Israelis on civilian areas in southern Lebanon.

"Was my mother also burned?" he cries.

But he has not been told that his mother is dead. Hussein is suffering enough pain already.




the kid here is not related to that event

1. Crap. No child deserves this.

I wonder what his politics will be like for the rest of his life.

2. Words escape me.

Sad, disgusted :kick:

3. Those are American bombs made by Americans just overjoyed to have

a paycheck.

Don't forget: American weapons are killing those Lebanese. I'm sure their families will never forget it.

Is it really worth it to sell your soul?
