Yeah this is wrong. You really shouldn't play with UXO because there's no telling why it failed to explode. Hell, some munitions actually employ a time-delay or motion-activated anti-tamper trigger just to prevent their removal from the battlefield. Others may have an automatic self-destruct timer, and you don't want to be around when it gets to zero. Not to mention the purely mechanical failures that can happen inside a bomb. They can drop several thousand feet and not detonate, but all it takes to make a boom is enough of a bump to free a single stuck mechanism.

This. No bomb is safe until has been deactivated. Just because it didn't explode when it was supposed doesn't mean it can't explode

Al Qaeda: The official boogeyman of everyone who wants sympathy.

Wasn't Qaddafi fighting against Al Qaeda influence too?

Assad is fighting terrorists/Al Qaeda.

It's almost as if Al Qaeda is a phantom enemy on par with Anonymous.

Easier to get aid that way from counties like the U.S. who are committed to "fighting the global war on terror"
