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(xué)竟用炮彈當(dāng)課鈴

?????? 據(jù)法新社報(bào)道，烏干達(dá)西部的反地雷活動(dòng)人士上星期十分震驚地發(fā)現(xiàn)，一所小學(xué)竟用未爆炸的迫擊炮炮彈當(dāng)課鈴。

?????? 反雷網(wǎng)絡(luò)魯文佐里的協(xié)調(diào)員威爾遜?班巴勒說(shuō)：“那令人相當(dāng)震驚。我們到那個(gè)學(xué)校時(shí)，發(fā)現(xiàn)一個(gè)學(xué)生正在敲它?！?/p>

?????? 班巴勒表示，他的團(tuán)隊(duì)上周造訪了這個(gè)距烏干達(dá)與剛果（金）交界1千米處的小學(xué)，該小學(xué)有350名學(xué)生就讀。

?????? 他說(shuō)：“（炸彈）底部空了，所以他們可以用它當(dāng)課鈴，但頂部的信子仍可用。所幸的是，人們敲（的力）不夠大，沒(méi)引爆它?！?/p>

?????? 后來(lái)，班巴勒了解到，學(xué)校已用該炸彈當(dāng)課鈴使了3年。
