London: Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced today that Britain will scrap all cluster bombs in its arsenal, in a bid to break a deadlock at ongoing negotiations in Dublin towards banning the weapons.
"We have decided we will take all our types of cluster bombs out of service," Brown told reporters in London.
Officials from 109 countries are in talks in the Irish capital to thrash out a treaty by Friday towards wiping out the use, production, transfer and stockpiling of cluster munitions.
