British contractor killed in mine-filled Iraqi city

A British national hired to clear mines planted by ISIS in the western Iraqi city of Ramadi was reportedly killed on Monday in a work-related incident.

 

His death, the first of a Western de-mining expert in the city, highlights the challenge of making territory safe for civilians once it's recaptured from the militants, who have been pushed off of more than half the areas they seized in Iraq two years ago.
