U.S. aims laser-weapon research at space
The United States is secretly developing a powerful ground-based laser weapon that would destroy enemy satellites in orbit.
The project is politically sensitive to the Bush administration which is trying to play down the issue of space arms.
The U.S. House Armed Services subcommittee unanimously cut research money for the project in the administration's budget for the 2007 fiscal year as it feels that the project is controversial.
