Description

Afghan Soldier, accompanied by Canadian Engineers, sweeping the mud wall of an Afghan building with a metal detector looking for embedded mines or booby-traps. Recent signs of wall repairs might suggest the embedding of a mine or an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) in the wall. This was a procedure to inspect the surroundings in that case.
