Young man injured by mine blast in western Iran

Mohsen Rajabi quoted the councilor of Joshan village as saying that while picking plants Ahmad Gholami, 48, went to a derelict base and put his leg on the wartime land mine.

He was rushed to a nearby hospital where he lost his right leg.

Rajabi warned people not to trespass derelict bases.

Some 360 Bases have been demined in the city of Saqqez since the end of the Iraqi imposed war against Iran in 1990.
