    It’s a shame Cambodia’s school children don’t even have basic access to the modern weaponry of U.S. school children.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A high school in north-eastern Cambodia has been forced to close temporarily after thousands of unexploded munitions were discovered.

    Cambodia remains one of the world’s most heavily mined countries, 48 years after the end of its brutal civil war.

    At that time, the Queen Kosomak High School in Kratie province was being used as a military station.

    Photos show tons of rusty explosives neatly stacked in rows, with grenades and anti-tank launchers among them.

    In total, more than 2,000 pieces of ordnance was discovered over three days - Heng Ratana, director general of the Cambodian Mine Action Centre, told AFP news agency.

    Landmines that are scattered across the country have killed more than 64,000 people, while 25,000 amputees have been recorded since 1979, according to The Halo Trust.
