"In the 1980s the United States sold more than $134 billion in weapons and military services to more than 160 nations and political movements. American sales increased further during the 1990s. In 1993, the United States controlled nearly 73% of the weapons trade to the Third World [32]. A large part of American arms exports -- 85% has been estimated -- has gone to non-democratic and often brutal regimes; in Panama, Iraq, and Somalia such arms were turned against American forces. American arms also fuel conflicts and increase regional tensions."

Still looking for landmine specifics.
Ewan,
I did apologise that my original post was directed solely at the US, that was possibly because it was the US involved in this particular case, I have, a few times now, stated that it is not solely the US who are responsible.
I believe that there were more than landmines provided but I nothing that I can think of in specific terms at this moment.
