These bombs have been designed to start a [[fire]]. Sometimes they are also called '''firebombs'''. They were used very frequently in [[World War II]]. Materials such as [[Napalm]], [[White phosphorus]], [[thermite]], [[chlorine trifluoride]] are often employed in such bombs. A very crude such bomb (which uses [[fuel]]) is the [[Molotov cocktail]]. The [[United States]] still uses such bombs, called [[Mark 77 bomb]]. They were used during the [[invasion]] of [[Iraq]] in [[2003]]. Most other countries no longer use them, since they are banned by Section III of the [[United Nations]] [[Treaty|Convention]] on Certain [[Conventional weapon|Conventional Weapons]].
