		Elderly Villager Saves Grandson from UXO 
Trieu Phong, Quang Tri (May 7, 2014) An elderly villager in Trieu Trung Commune may have saved his grandson and the boys friends from being killed or injured by UXO recently, when the grandfather stopped the boys from trying to drag the bomb out of the Vinh Dinh River to sell for scrap. He guided the youngsters to carefully submerge the bomb in the waters of the river, because he knew the bomb contained white phosphorous which might combust at any moment, with tragic results. The man then instructed his son, the boys father, to call Project RENEWs UXO hotline immediately and report the discovery so a RENEW team could come and neutralize the situation.
