UNITED STATESPolice foil coup attempt in Laos A former Laotian military general and a former California National Guard officer were among nine people charged with plotting the overthrow of the Laotian government. The group was raising money to recruit a mercenary force and buy enough weapons to equip a small army that could pull off a set of attacks with antitank missiles, grenade launchers and C-4 explosives, prosecutors allege.
