To go with Afghanistan-unrest-IEDs by Lawrence Bartlett In this January 21, 2010 photograph, Dutch soldiers of Charlie Air assault company check for unexploded IEDs (improvised explosive devices) during a patrol in Chora valley in Afghanistan's southern Uruzgan province. Keeping the convoy "left of the boom" is the single-minded focus of a Dutch patrol snaking through the desolate mountains of Afghanistan's Uruzgan province. A sergeant and six engineers are the last line of defence against the roadside bombs which have become the biggest killers of coalition troops in the Afghan war.
