Afghanistan’s landmine legacy

“According to statistics released by British de-mining agency the Halo Trust, Afghanistan is the most mined country in the world.

The agency, whose operations in Angola drew a great deal of international attention when they were visited by the late Princess Diana, has estimated that over 500,000 landmines could still lie dormant.

Other agencies estimate there could be as many as 10 million mines in the ground.”
