After ISIS: Clearing mines amid the rubble of war

BASHIR, Iraq — A group of Kurdish men arrive at sunrise, at an undisclosed location in Kirkuk Province, just steps behind the front lines of battle. They work quickly in the sweltering heat.

Explosives are carefully piled in trenches and tied together so they will all blow up at once.

Then, after a successful detonation, the men bow their heads for a moment of silence, to remember a colleague who died the day before, more than 180 miles away.

But these men aren’t soldiers. They are a demining team made up mostly of Kurdish civilians.
