The bombs are called "Musso- lini's secret weapon," and they go off at the slightest touch.

The "Sunday Despatch's" cor- respondent in the Western Desert says that every morning the Bri- tish forces find the desert littered with the booby traps. Sappers go out and mark the position of each bomb with a red flag. Later the bombs are exploded by rifle fire or by lassooing them with a long rope, the jerking of which sets them off,

"The idea," the correspondent "is to scatter the bombs says, among the camps and aerodromes along the roads, where it is hoped that they will act as traps for the unwary. The British forces were not taken in by then, even on the first day they were tried out. The bombs produce a surprisingly loud, and spectacular explosion, capable of doing considerable damage to any lorry which fails to avoid the trap.".

Usually the bombs roll under the camel scrub, and some become partially hidden in the loose sand.
