Anti-landmine activists in western Uganda were stunned to discover a primary school using an unexploded mortar bomb as a bell last week, AFP reported.

"It was a big shock. When we arrived at the school we even found one of the students striking it," Wilson Bwambale, coordinator of Anti-Mines Network Rwenzori, said.

Bwambale said his team visited the 350-pupil primary school, one kilometer from Uganda's border with Democratic Republic of Congo, last week.

"The bottom [of the bomb] was hollow, that is why they used it as a bell, but the fuse at the top was still live," he said. "Fortunately no one hit it with enough (force) to explode the bomb."

Afterwards, Bwambale learnt that the school had been using the bomb as a bell for three years.

Last year, the same team visited a school where an unsuspecting teacher was keeping a hand grenade in one of the classrooms, Bwambale said.

小學竟用炮彈當課鈴

?????? 據法新社報道，烏干達西部的反地雷活動人士上星期十分震驚地發現，一所小學竟用未爆炸的迫擊炮炮彈當課鈴。

?????? 反雷網絡魯文佐里的協調員威爾遜?班巴勒說：“那令人相當震驚。我們到那個學校時，發現一個學生正在敲它。”

?????? 班巴勒表示，他的團隊上周造訪了這個距烏干達與剛果（金）交界1千米處的小學，該小學有350名學生就讀。

?????? 他說：“（炸彈）底部空了，所以他們可以用它當課鈴，但頂部的信子仍可用。所幸的是，人們敲（的力）不夠大，沒引爆它。”

?????? 后來，班巴勒了解到，學校已用該炸彈當課鈴使了3年。

?????? 班巴勒表示，去年同一個團隊訪問了一所學校，發現一名粗心的教師竟把手榴彈放在一間教室里。
