The Hunt for the Hidden Bombs and Land Mines of Kosovo (Wired)
The bomb hunters of Kosovo roam the country on foot, searching for explosives that dot the landscape 17 years after the Kosovo War. The slightest disturbance can cause an explosion, making the work so risky that the men and women who do it insisted that Emanuele Amighetti wear body armor and helmet just to photograph them.
NATO dropped many of those bombs during a 78-day campaign to end the ethnic war that roiled Kosovo for 15 months. An estimated 20 percent of those munitions didn’t detonate, joining the untold numbers of mines and other explosives left behind by soldiers on both sides. The United Nations swept the nation after the war and declared it free of ordnance in 2001, but data from the Landmine and Cluster Munition Monitor show more than 100 people have been injured by explosives since then.
