Washington (AFP) May 03, 2006 - The US government is conducting research into
building a ground-based laser weapon that could destroy enemy satellites in
orbit, the New York Times reported Wednesday. The secret project, which
according to the Times was partially made public through Air Force budget
documents submitted to Congress in February, would use beams of concentrated
light to destroy enemy satellites in orbit.
