Bombing Nature:
Bombing is to attack with a destructive device containing explosive or incendiary material or gas by throwing, firing from heavy guns, dropping from an aircraft or placing in position.
Incidence:
From 1962 to 1973 USA aircraft dropped more than 2 million tons of bombs on Laos, a country of less than 3 million people. This represented more than $1.44 million a day. The total amount exceeded that dropped by USA forces in all theatres during World War II. It has been alleged that Laos was used as a research and development laboratory to test new munition systems.
