Did You Know that Over 270 million cluster bombs were dropped on Laos during the Vietnam War (210 million more bombs than were dropped on Iraq in 1991, 1998 and 2006 combined); up to 80 million did not detonate. Nearly 40 years on, less than 1% of these munitions have been destroyed. Each year there are now just under 50 new death casualties in Laos, down from 310 in 2008.
"On this day, 2001, Israel declared that September 12 would be a national day of mourning in response to the terrorist attacks on the United States. This comes as 5 Israeli spies were arrested in the days following the incident on charges of having prior knowledge of the time and location of the attack, but they were released and the case was closed with direct intervention from Bush."
