00:00 Once the children or adult play with this one, it will activate it.
00:04 When the villagers return back to their house, they are affected by this kind of IEDs.
00:12 When we talk about the IED, we are not talking about the commercial one or type of explosive.
00:20 We are talking about homemade explosive.
00:23 But what happened since 2014, after the ISIS left, they left behind them the IED and the effect of the IED.
00:31 The dangers of IEDs are much more than the commercial one or the military one.
00:37 Just because there is no specific shape or size or component or container of the IED.
00:45 They use whatever they found.
00:47 Normally when they use it, they are connected in an electric circle.
00:53 They use the same mechanism. They connect it with the circle of the IED.
00:58 Once the children or adult play with this one, it will activate it.
01:02 They put such kind of items which we find or see it actually attractive for kids, for adults.
01:15 Or some items which are valuable for them.
01:20 So they place it there as a booby trap to booby trap the victim.
01:26 I was the first person in the organization who attended the operation to the villagers.
01:32 We found some of the items still laid out on the village.
01:37 At the most time, the children and the women or the females, they became a victim for this item.
01:43 I saw small kids in the school, in primary school, she had been injured.
01:50 She lost her leg, she lost her eyes.
01:53 She destroyed her full body with one of these items.
01:58 If we have a water tank, once the villagers come back and start using the water,
02:03 the level of the water will come down.
02:06 That was enough to activate the IED.
02:10 Sometimes the IED, they cover it.
02:13 They put it inside the hut, they put it behind the door.
02:16 And they open the door.
02:19 Once the people return, the first thing they will think,
02:22 "Okay, the door is open, that means there is nothing behind it."
02:25 Once they push the door, then the IED will move.
02:30 And then the IED will activate, will destroy the house, and of course the person who activated the item.
02:37 Sometimes they lay out on the kids too, to create this.
02:41 Since they have a small hand, and their small hand can fit perfectly with the smallest item,
02:46 they use the kids in the village to make this.
02:49 At the end of the day, the victims are kids and women and adults too.
02:55 And sometimes even animals.
