Iraqi official says civilian killed in landmine explosion in Basra
Basra (Iraqinews.com) ‐ An Iraqi civilian was killed Monday as a landmine left over from the anti-terror war went kaboom! at a border area in Basra governorate, a provincial official was quoted as saying.

Jabar al-Saadi, the head of the security committee at the Basra provincial council, told the SNG news agency that a landmine went kaboom! while a civilian was searching for minerals in Shalamcheh town on the country’s border with Iran. The kaboom left the civilian dead.

The landmine is believed to be left over from Iraq’s three-year fight against Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
, Saadi pointed out, adding that the victim was moved to the forensic medicine department.
