During the Vietnam War, tiny Laos became the most bombed country on Earth. Three decades later, its people are still living with the bombs left behind.

The toll of war: A woman in the village of Na Phat rings a U.S. bombshell used as a bell outside a small primary school. During the war in Vietnam, U.S. airstrikes turned neighboring Laos into the world?s most heavily bombed country per capita.
