First Lady introduced the newest humanitarian envoy |
The man of steel is heading to the province to teach children about the dangers of unexploded landmines. A new comic book featuring the all-action superhero was launched by US First Lady Hillary Clinton on Monday. It features
Superman streaking from the sky to stop two boys from picking up a mine
and giving them lessons on how to spot and avoid others. |
'Beloved hero' The book
is aimed at returning ethnic Albanian refugees "Superman has been the
beloved hero of American children for generations. He's armed with special
powers and a big heart. Now he will be both a hero and a guide to the
children of Kosovo." Booby-trapped homes Unexploded
bombs often resemble toys in the eyes of a child In Kosovo itself more
than 200 accidents involving unexploded munitions, including those dropped
by Nato, have occurred since the end of the air campaign six weeks ago. But with superman's help aid agencies hope those casualties can be kept to a minimum. Tuesday, August 3, 1999 |
