Royal Engineer Searchers talk about the dangers of the job
For the first time ever the Ministry of Defence has allowed the work of the specialist bomb disposal teams in Afghanistan to be shown.
After a missile strike kills an insurgent laying an IED, bomb disposal operator Rod and his team are dropped into the area by helicopter to investigate.
Three months into their tour, Search Team 9 have already taken casualties. They have lost three team members but they鈥檙e still at the front searching for IEDs and they are about to search one of the most dangerous villages in Helmand.
The Bomb Squad is full of insights; from what it鈥檚 like to be a bomb disposal operator working in Afghanistan for the first time, to searching for IEDs after you鈥檝e seen friends killed or injured by them.
