Japan-China team finds 210 poison gas bombs in Ning'an

BEIJING (AP) A joint Chinese-Japanese team of experts has retrieved 210
abandoned Japanese poison gas bombs from the war that were buried near
a school in northeastern China, a news report said Tuesday.

A total of 689 shells and bombs were unearthed in Ning'an, a city near
the Russian border, and 210 were found to contain mustard gas,
lewisite, phosgene and other toxins, the official Xinhua News Agency
said.

The weapons were buried at the site, about 200 meters from a junior
high school, after a factory received them as scrap metal, the Chinese
government said.

Japan's military abandoned hundreds of thousands of chemical weapons in
China's northeast at the end of the war.

The experts in Ning'an began excavation work last week.

The recovered weapons were sealed and placed in temporary storage in
preparation for destruction, Xinhua said, citing the Chinese Foreign
Ministry.

A joint Chinese-Japanese effort to retrieve weapons from dozens of
sites has collected 37,499 weapons and 200 tons of contaminated items
over the past nine years, but none has been destroyed, Xinhua said.

Japan is obligated by a U.N. treaty to dispose of its abandoned
chemical weapons by next year. Beijing and Tokyo have agreed to try to
have that deadline extended to 2012.

Chinese officials complain that Japan is working too slowly. Japanese
officials say they are short-handed and are asking their government for
more money and staff.

The Chinese government says more than 2,000 people have been killed in
China by abandoned Japanese chemical weapons.

Last August, one person died and 43 were injured in the northeastern
city of Qiqihar after a construction crew broke open a buried container
of poison gas.

Japan keeps denying its wartime atrocities. Japanese bomb keeps killing
Chinese people.
