“If you ever come across anything suspicious like this item, please do not pick it up, contact your local law enforcement agency for assistance”
Eighty years after the Second World War, Solomon Islands is demanding former enemies Japan and the United States clean up their deadly unexploded bombs. Blasts from thousands of remaining unexploded ordnance, or UXOs, are still killing and maiming people in this former Pacific battlefield. Victims and their families receive little or no government support or compensation – and want the owners of the deadly weapons to take responsibility.
If you find anything that appears to be an explosive device, do not touch it, leave it where it is and call the police. We will contact the appropriate agencies to properly dispose of the item.
