Panel on Banning Land Mines and the History of Land Mines in Laos
On the Radiozine today we feature excerpts from a recent Portland panel discussion on the need to ban land mines.
The event was organized and introduced by Lynn Bradach, an advocate with Handicap International. She lost her son, a U.S. Marine, when his team accidentally detonated a cluster bomb in Iraq.
Ms Bradach has spent time in Laos, one of the most heavily cluster-bomb contaminated countries in the world.
The panel also features a retired American fighter pilot who was ordered to drop the bombs on Laos during the Vietnam War will also share his testimony at the event, a retired Air Force officer whose job duties included making sure the war in Laos remained secret and a representative from Handicapped International US.
