EDS NOTE : GRAPHIC CONTENT - FILE - In this May 10, 2009 file photo, Sri Lankan ethnic Tamil victims of a shell attack wait outside a makeshift hospital in Tiger controlled No Fire Zone in Mullivaaykaal, Sri Lanka. A Sri Lankan man was wounded in the final months of the country's bloody civil war by an unexploded cluster bomblet that tore into his leg, a medical worker who saw the injury told The Associated Press on Friday, April 27, 2012. The revelation, along with a photograph that purports to show the wound, added further credence to accusations cluster munitions had been used during the final months of the war. The government has repeatedly denied using cluster munitions during the final months of fighting. (AP Photo/File)
