Laser attack on Canadians
By G.F. Bain
Washington, D.C.

On May 20 I posted a note "Russian Lasers and Questions Unasked". The
Pentagon has now issued a "final" report on the incident - as follows
(Washington Post 6/27):

"The Pentagon disclosed last month that it believed the Russian ship Kapitan
Man fired a laser at a Canadian military helicopter on April 4, causing
temporary eye damage to the pilot and an American officer on board...two
medical examinations of the officer, Lt. Jack Daly, concluded that his
injury was consistent with damage that would be expected from exposure to a
low powered laser..

'There is no evidence, however, to pinpoint the source of the
laser'..'Specifically the investigation could not link the officer's eye
injury to a laser on the Kapitan Man or to any other location."

"You have to describe this as a mystery", said Pentagon spokesman Kenneth
Bacon.

This is dissimulation of the highest order inasmuch as the injury was
sustained during an overflight of the ship, which was monitoring the
departure of a U.S. nuclear sub from Bremmerton, and no other ships were in
the area.

The photos of the incident have NOT been released. The incident occurred
during the U.S./Russian negotiations about NATO expansion and were, in my
view, deliberately played down by U.S. and Canadian authorities to avoid
embarrassment to those negotiations.

I received a communication from a Vancouver maritime lawyer denying the
incident.
