Hurt Locker star braves real Afghan minefield
Better known for defusing bombs in Iraq in the Oscar-winning film "The Hurt Locker," actor Jeremy Renner braved a live minefield in Afghanistan on Sunday to draw attention to the tireless work of clearing mines that kill and maim years after being buried.
Despite years of effort to dig up mines planted during decades of civil war and Soviet occupation, more than 650 square kilometers (250 sq mile) of Afghan territory are still considered active minefields.
