1970
Laos
USA forces use sarin nerve gas when attacking a village in Laos. Over 100 people are killed
including a number of American military defectors. Sarin gas kills within minutes when inhaled or from a drop on
the skin. The chemical inhibits muscle movement causing convulsions and vomiting. One unprotected USA soldier suffers creeping paralysis, permanent
damage from the nerve gas.
When the USA television company, CNN breaks the story in 1998, USA government pressure produces a retraction
and the sacking of staff.
