You need to start learning how to seek out facts and information.

You can use any source that can send you to the actual source of the information they are using. I use multiple sources before I post but once you know the information you want to post, it is convenient to be able to cut and paste an article’s text summing it up.

Also, the majority of that post is actually ALjazeera using the source they name.

Is using them a war crime?
The use of cluster bombs itself does not violate international law, but using them against civilians can be a violation. As in any strike, determining a war crime requires looking at whether the target was legitimate and if precautions were taken to avoid civilian casualties.

“The part of international law where this starts playing [a role], though, is indiscriminate attacks targeting civilians,” Human Rights Watch’s associate arms director Mark Hiznay told The Associated Press news agency. “So that’s not necessarily related to the weapons, but the way the weapons are used.”

Nah. I have a lot of training in that. You need to give up the propaganda - but you won’t.
