"...his son's unit was driving cross-country, staying away from the road on purpose in order to evade IEDs."It is possible that the deaths were caused by an old landmine.
"...indicated the IED (or mine) may have been there for a long time as there has been no evidence that it was placed recently."The battle to combat IEDs is one that will need a combination of solutions. RIP to the fallen.
