Apart from the bombing of Japanese cities, Agent orange in Vietnam,
Radioactive dust in iraq - here is another one.
Remnant of war, unexploded bombs killing civilians - should have been
cleaned up by US after war.
What 80 million unexploded US bombs did to Laos
September 6, 2016, CNN News
http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/05/asia/united-states-laos-secret-war/
For two years after the accident, Yei Yang refused to leave his home.
"I couldn't farm, I couldn't go to see friends, as they might be
afraid of me," Yang tells CNN. "I didn't want to live." Yang was just
22 and burning rubbish near his village in the province of Xieng
Khoung in north-eastern Laos, when a bomb blast tore off one of his
eyelids, his top lip and an ear, mutilated one of his arms, and left
him with severe scarring from the waist up. His wounds were not caused
by a modern day conflict, but by the remnants of a war that was waged
more than 40 years ago, and is still destroying lives in this small
Southeast Asian nation. Some 80 million unexploded bombs are scattered
across the country - the deadly legacy of what became known as
America's "secret war" in Laos - a CIA-led mission during the Vietnam
War. In total, between 1964 and 1973, the US dropped more than two
million tons of bombs - one of the heaviest aerial bombardments in
history. Most of the munitions dropped were cluster bombs, which
splinter before impact, spreading hundreds of smaller bomblets. To
this day, less than 1% of the bombs have been removed, according to
US-based NGO Legacies of War, which is spearheading the campaign to
clear them. More than 20,000 people have been killed or maimed by the
unexploded ordnance (UXOs) since the war ended, and currently, 50
people are maimed or killed every year. Around 40% of those are
children.
Note: Big banks profited immensely from the cluster bomb trade. For
more along these lines, see concise summaries of deeply revealing war
news articles from reliable major media sources.
