Afghanistan in the U.K.

Night time mortar attacks lead into a day visit to Paghman village.

Night time mortar attacks lead into a day visit to Paghman village. A re-creation of an Afghan village complete with Afghani-refugees employed to man bazaars and restaurants. Suddenly a suicide bomber, played by one of the Gurkha soldiers who blend in among 2 Para, detonates his vest. The aforementioned Afghani refugees and the amputees / actors / stuntmen / ex-estate agents and aspiring comedians who work for an agency called Amputees In Action react in appropriate fashion. The army uses these guys a lot these days.
Warning: contains footage that may be upsetting to some viewers.
