Two boys in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province were killed by
a bomb said to be left behind by invading Japanese troops during
the World War II.
According to Thursday's Beijing Youth Daily, the two boys, Cui
Liang and Cui Xin, found an unidentified bomb, which exploded in
their hands on June 1.
Cui Liang and Cui Xin lived in Beisunwu Village in Sunwu
County.
Forensic experts removed a dozen bomb fragments from the bodies of
the boys.
Local public security departments checked the bomb fragments and
confirmed that the bomb was left behind by Japanese invaders during
the World War II.
Beijing Youth Daily quoted other media as saying that a warhead
dropped by a Japanese plane was discovered in the Wudalianchi
scenic spot in the province on May 28, and four rusty Japanese
antitank grenades were found at a construction site in Qitaihe City
on June 7.
