I heard my brother shout my name, asking me what it was, said Linh. I saw him start to throw the object toward me, just as it went off in his hand. Linh said he thought the explosive device was an M79, also known as a 40mm Grenade. Together with cluster bombs, those items have been the leading cause of deaths and injuries in Quang Tri Province since 1975.
