Israeli Technology Clears Landmines in Angola
(Media Line-Jerusalem Post) Adam Gonn - Airborne sensors developed in Israel are helping to detect land mines in Angola, one of the most heavily mined countries in the world. While the civil war in the east African nation ended in 1994, half a million land mines were left behind and detecting them has been cumbersome and labor intensive. Now Geomine, an Israeli company, has introduced a special camera that picks them out without having to touch the ground. The method allows for a large area to be surveyed quickly and accurately, said Avi Buzaglo Yoresh, the company's director general.
