Note that one of the Afghanis is using binoculars to watch the explosion. US Army Military Police (MP) and Psychological Operations (PSYOPS) personnel assisted in moving local Afghanis in the area safely away from the detonation site outside the perimeter of Kandahar Air Base, Afghanistan, during Operation ENDURING FREEDOM
