VAUGHAN SMITH:

On the junction where the Afghan soldiers were killed, the bomb disposal unit found three other devices, each costing just a few pounds to make. The operation to remove them took eight men, three painstaking hours, using millions of pounds worth of equipment.

With the village cleared, the Grenadiers plan to hold it and build up a security presence. Within 36 hours, compounds are being constructed and locals are invited to a meeting, a shura, hosted by the district governor, Habi Bullah (ph).
