    On some of the "On This Day" websites, on 14 March 1968 it says "POM performs atmospheric nuclear test at Maralinga, Australia." I thought testing at Maralinga finished in the 1950s. I know POM is the Australian nickname for British. What did happen on 14 March 1968 at Maralinga?

    Cluster bombs in war zones are a reality. Mines Action Canada and the Red Cross have been calling for an immediate moratorium on their use.

Who is most vulnerable to the bright yellow bombs with parachute attachments?

    Where and when did the British first test the atomic bomb?
