Row over nuclear toys

An Italian toy maker has caused controversy by unveiling models of the atomic bombs dropped on Japan.

An Italian toy maker has caused an explosive row after unveiling two model nuclear bombs named after the 'Little Boy' and 'Fat Man' devices that killed more than 350,000 Japanese at the end of World War II.

Brumm unveiled its £6 Little Boy and Fat Man 1:43 scale model bombs at the Nuremberg toy fair.

Critics say the toys are in bad taste but a Brumm spokesman said: "We want to protest against the insanity of nuclear-war."

More than 350,000 people were killed when the US bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of the Second World War.
