At least four Cambodians were killed and three others injured in a rocket launcher explosion in Cambodia's northwestern province of Pursat, police said Monday.
Ros Bunnan, deputy police commissioner of Pursat province, said the incident happened at 4 pm on Sunday in Roveang Village, Phnom Kravanh District, some 230 kilometers northwest of Phnom Penh.
He said a man in the village was using the recently found head of a leftover B-40 rocket launcher pretending it as a microphone to sing, then it fell down to the ground and exploded.
He said four men standing and sitting nearby were killed and other three women were injured.
Many explosive remnants of war are left in the country, especially the northwestern parts of Cambodia after several decades of civil war.
In a report released Monday by Cambodian Mine Action and Victim Assistance Authority it said from January to July 2010, there were 184 mine and explosive remnants of war (ERW) casualties.
The report also showed that since 1979, there has been 63,704 casualties related to mine and ERW.

I can't really say much except that the man was extremely stupid. How idiotic can one be?
Lack of education can make a person stupid.
It is not about education, they surely know it can kill them but they brought it to show their braveness and fun. We can say they have low responsibility toward themselves and others.
I think this says more about Cambodian Singing ability than the quality of education in cambodia today.
There goes the Khmer Rough.

back to sleep 8:17!
never play with bomb or bullet, no matter how old it is! this is a good example.
