SpringHeeledJack,
I wouldn't go so far as to say premeditating murder or premeditated murder since there were no fatalities or serious incidents resulting from the l@ser attack. But in any country, multiple counts of attempted murder and a multiple charges of interfering with flights will result in a very stiff sentence. I definitely think that knowing the dangers and implications of shining l@sers at aircraft, a court of law will not hesitate to convict on the the above charges if the perpetrators are found guilty. That is what I think they should do, and widely publicise it.
