Militant Steps On Explosive Booby Trap While Filming
Published 3 years ago
Unverified footage reportedly out of Syria shows the moment a militant triggers a hidden explosive device which results in significant bodily injury.
While unconfirmed, it appears the man is touring a recently rubbled building, possibly conducting a battle damage assessment (BDA), examine the results of his group's artillery or airstrike operation.
The surviving enemy forces likely knew that the site would be inspected and left behind some sort of explosive booby trap. The video ends as the victim calls out to his buddy for help and gets a response.
Anti personnel land mines and IEDs are often made to injure rather than kill. This takes not only the targeted individual out of the fight, but now ties up more resources and soldiers to treat and evacuate the wounded.
