Early April 2011, near Ajdabiya, Libya. Belgian PRB-M3A1 landmines are planted by rebels. So far this is the only documented case of the use of Belgian landmines in Libya. Orla Guerin reports. See also the article of Stuart Hughes: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-13243929. The National Transitional Council signed a pledge on 28 April 2011 not to use landmines. This footage is (c) BBC, I use it solely to report on the use of Belgian mines in the Libyan conflict.
