Excerpt from the Canadian Press:
"...Troops from the provincial reconstruction team (PRT) disassembled the unarmed bombs, which were stuffed into the seats of the motorcycles in the nearby village of Hajiwan...The Afghan National Police were tipped to the presence of the bombs. The explosives were hidden within the foam seats of the vehicles," said Lieut. (Navy) Mark MacIntyre, a Canadian forces spokesman..."
