<DIV class=artblock><FONT face=Arial size=2>The US military is funding
development of a weapon that delivers a bout of excruciating pain from up to 2
kilometres away. Intended for use against rioters, it is meant to leave victims
unharmed. But pain researchers are furious that work aimed at controlling pain
has been used to develop a weapon. And they fear that the technology will be
used for torture.</FONT></DIV>
