Iraqi Kurd children learn how mines blow up during class put on by MAG (Mine Advisory Group) explaining different types of mines and unexploded ordnance which exist in the hills surrounding their village, Molala, 40 kilometers north of the frontline with Iraqi government forces January 14, 2003. After four decades of intermittent conflict, northern Iraq's Kurds are bracing themselves for another possible war between the United States and Bagdad over allegations of weapons of mass destruction.
