I'll bet there wasn't enough left of this guy to fill a Zip-Loc freezer bag.

The term "pink mist" was what we used to describe someone that would be stupid enough to set off an AT mine.

Combat Engineers :)

The mine might have exploded because the man was not familiar with the device and mishandled it, the official said.

The bottom the mine had the instructions written in Arabic
