A four-wheel-drive car was blasted Thursday by a Moroccan-planted land mine near the city of Asa , killing one person and injuring two others.
According to a statement of the Collective of Saharawi Human Rights Defenders (CODESA), the explosion caused the death of Saharawi child Said Daida Swailem, 14, and injured his father Daida Swailem, 71, and citizen Bushab Abdi, 20, who were on board the car checking a herd of camels.
The victims remained for more than 6 hours at the place of explosion, before an ambulance arrived to take them to the regional hospital, the same source added.
It should be recalled that Western Sahara is plagued by land mines planted by the Moroccan occupying forces which continue to hurt dozens of Saharawi citizens each year.
