Join the Al Hidaya Association of Montreal & Tadamon! for an interactive 
slide-show & presentation from HABBOUBA AOUN of the Landmine Resource Center in 
Beirut.

Habbouba Aoun is visiting Canada this week to provide insight & information 
concerning the effects of Israeli cluster bombs on Lebanon. During her visit to 
Canada, Aoun has spoken to the national press on Parliament Hill in Ottawa & to 
Members of the Canadian Parliament.

This Montreal event will be an opportunity for Montrealers & members of the 
Lebanese Diaspora to hear a first-hand account on the devastating effects of 
Israeli cluster munitions, within the context of a growing international 
campaign to ban these weapons in war.

U.N. officials estimate that Israel discharged up to 1 million cluster bomblets 
during the 2006 attack, 40% of which remain unexploded in southern Lebanon. The 
hundreds of thousands of unexploded cluster bomblets sprayed over the country 
pose a deadly danger to the people of Lebanon.

Since the U.N. brokered ceasefire on August 14th, 156 people have become 
victims of cluster munitions, 90% of which were civilians and one third of 
which are under the age of 18 years.
