Laos the most bombed country in the world

Laos was a target for heavy B52 strikes as well as smaller fighter-bomber missions by aircraft such as A4s, T28s and F105s. It was also an easy, undefended dumping ground for bombs that needed to be offloaded before aircraft could return safely to their bases and carriers. Laos was bombed non-stop from 1964 to 1973 at a cost of nearly seven billion dollars. Over two million tons of high explosive rained down from bomber raids launched on average once every eight minutes. The tonnage exceeds all the raids launched by every side in Europe during the whole of World War II. Indeed, Laos, one of the most sparsely populated countries in Asia, is the most heavily bombed country in the world. The lethal barrage, which peaked in 1969, included an estimated 250 million submunitions, notably infamous anti-personnel "bombies". Slightly smaller than tennis balls, and sometimes painted bright yellow, bombies can attract curious children and may be mistaken for fruit.
