A Peshmerga fighter slowly worked his around the concrete shell of a half-constructed home in northern Iraq when something in the rubble alerted his attention.
After flagging the spot and alerting the other soldiers with him, another Peshmerga fighter specialized in handling improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, arrived on the scene. The new arrival carefully looked over the object and confirmed it was an explosive device.
Acting delicately, the specialist tied a rope to a component of the IED, and after retreating around the side of the house, tightly yanked the rope, pulling the IED apart without causing it to explode.
