Here's the first article from Hal Bernton of the Seattle Times - he is currently embedded with the 1-17 INF, 5/2 SBCT in Afghanistan.

JELEWAR, Afghanistan -- The man in the brown robe was digging in the desert sand. He was accompanied by three teenage boys and a donkey pulling a wooden cart.

Was he scooping up sand to help make concrete? Or was he trying to bury a roadside bomb?

The soldiers in this Stryker convoy from the Fort Lewis-based 5th Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division stopped to investigate.
