Recent reports are confirming earlier speculation that chemical warfare is being waged in Laos. Kampuchea. and Afghanistan. that a form of warfare which has been banned for over 50 years by international convention is being used to destroy the lives of thousands of people in these countries. While the evidence is not absolutely conclusive yet. there is substantial documentation to corroborate the stories of refugees from Afghanistan and the nations in Southeast Asia that warring factions are resorting to these pernicious weapons of destruction. State Department officials have produced new evidence which gives credence to these charges. and it is now time to bring these findings to the attention of the rest of the world. Chemical warfare is an insidious weapon.
