whiskey601 said:I live about 7 km's away from the site of the mines. From what I understand from a friend, the mines may have been there for a while, and we are very lucky because kids play in that area all the time, and often throw boulders in the water to make a splash. I surmise that they found them because the water is quite low due to our semi-drought in these parts. The news is reporting the mines were somehow connected to a timing device, which is quite troubling- maybe the mines were recently planted,the questions are by who and why?
just read the article from the london newspaper. They do suspect they were recently placed, and are asking for any witnesses who may have noticed anything strange lately.
It is rather disturbing. Why place two mines in a quiet area where kids play? Can you imagine the horror that could have happened there? I shudder at the thought. Where exactly does one even accuire a land mine? Its not a casual purchase. I hope they find the person.
