Syrian pro-government forces "widely using" cluster bombs - HRW

Beirut, Jul 28 (Reuters) The Russian-backed Syrian government's air campaign against rebels is widely using cluster munitions, banned by more than 100 countries because of their indiscriminate nature, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today.
The rights group said it had documented 47 cluster munitions attacks, which killed or wounded dozens of civilians in opposition-controlled territory in the last two months.
Cluster munitions are containers that explode in the air to distribute smaller bombs over a large area.
