Die "Sandy Times" (Zeitung der brit. Truppen im Irak) Nr. 33 berichtet über die gefährliche Fussballbegeisterung der irakischen Jugend: Daz Breeden tried to warn residents of a village near the famous Biblical site of the danger of interfering with the unexploded ordnance littering the country. The 37-year-old, who is serving with 3 Regiment Army Air Corps was stunned that children were playing soccer with lethal anti-personnel mines right in front of colleagues in the helicopter unit. A colleague Sgt Glenn Reeves said: “They were just kicking the mines about, they obviously didn’t realise how dangerous they are.’’
