Papua New Guinea military personnel are calling on the United States to do more to help clean up unexploded ordinance left over from World War Two. Captain Derek Levi, a field engineer in the PNG Defence Force, said a letter to the US embassy to clear a US ammunition dump near Lae fell on deaf ears.
