In a previous post on this blog I had written about the German police's wish to use rubber bullets against protesters, after having met a guy who was almost killed by one. Now check this out - the UN bans the use of rubber bullets in Kosovo after accidentally killing two protesters with such bullets. They were well past their sell-by date. This is so typically UN - people get killed by inertia.
PRISTINA, Serbia, July 3 (Reuters) - The United Nations is considering banning the use of rubber bullets in peacekeeping operations after the killing of two protesters in Kosovo, U.N. police in the province said on Tuesday.
... The bullets were manufactured in 1991 and had a shelf life of three years. A police report said they had "probably hardened" with age.
