Childhood Under Attack: A Timeline of Explosive Weapon Harm
https://aoav.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Childhood-Under-Attack-1.pdf
Globally, between 2011 and 2020, at least 17,035 children were reported in English language media as
having been killed and injured by explosive violence. An additional 807 children were reported as casualties
of unexploded ordinance (UXO). State actors were responsible for at least 53% of child casualties of
explosive violence in the last decade. These figures are likely to be just fractions of the real harm.
In response to this harm, AOAV’s report Childhood Under Attack outlines the foreseeable patterns of harm
when children are faced with the use of explosive weapons, in both the short and the long- term. It traces the
impact of explosive violence over the course of a child’s life: from the moment of the blast to the minutes,
hours, months, and years that follow.
The report argues that the initial blast, while horrific, only paints half a picture. Most child casualties are not
the result of direct exposure to blasts; they are harmed by explosive weapons that destroy food, water
sources, shelter, and healthcare. These indirect effects are not accounted for in the data; they are frequently
not adequately assessed in the literature; nor are they addressed sufficiently in the humanitarian response.

FBI Seized Congressional Cellphone Records Related to Capitol Attack : The inclusion of congressional
phone data in the FBI investigation raises thorny constitutional questions.
/ : Ken Klippenstein, Eric Lichtblau. "Information Clearing House" - "The Intercept"
Within hours of the
storming of the Capitol on January 6, the FBI began securing thousands of phone and electronic records
connected to people at the scene of the rioting — including some related to members of Congress, raising
potentially thorny legal questions.
Using special emergency powers and other measures, the FBI has collected reams of private cellphone data
and communications that go beyond the videos that rioters shared widely on social media, according to two
sources with knowledge of the collection effort.
