Soldiers of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) have repeatedly used Afghan children to detect land-mines in war-ravaged country, said a former German ISAF officer in Berlin on Thursday.
ISAF soldiers threw apples on an area and then waited to see what would happen. If the children were to run to pick up the apples, and there was no explosion, the area was declared safe, according to Wohlgetan.

I think over all, we are going to have to wait to see any supporting evidence come forward, or buy the book.
My misconception was that this guys book was initially based on the IRNA report, in which case, the veracity of such claims would be in question.
Everyone makes mistakes i guess.

That might a good idea. But when someone goes to the trouble of writing and publishing a book about something, it at least should be given a look. Keep in mind the publishers have a stake in the validity of the information as well.
No problem man. Let's look at the evidence, and see if anyone else comes forward to corroborate this claim. After Abu Gharab, I don't put it past them.
What if they were under supplied? What if the mine detecting equipment was destroyed in a battle? I mean there could be many reasons for this atrocity that are not immediately evident.
