A Lebanese deminer was killed on Wednesday in an explosion from a cluster bomb in the South left over from the 2006 war between Israel and Hizbullah, the state-run National News Agency reported.

NNA said Hussein Omar al-Kweis, who hails from Nabatiyeh, died on the outskirts of the town of Aita al-Jabal.

Al-Kweis was an employee of the Norwegian People's Aid that works under the supervision of the Lebanon Mine Action Centre.

The United Nations and human rights groups have accused Israel of dropping about 4 million cluster bombs during its 2006 aggression on Lebanon.

At the time, experts said that up to 1 million failed to explode.
