A Tornado GR4 crew from 12 (Bomber) Squadron unleashed a Brimstone missile attack on an insurgent attempting to lay a number of improvised explosive devices in the ground in Kandahar. He was killed instantly and a search of the area discovered four trip-wire bombs and another with a pressure plate.
The attack was called in by an ISAF Forward Air Controller who spotted the man burying the devices near a convoy route in the area.
In a separate attack during the same mission, another 12 Squadron Tornado tracked and destroyed a suspect vehicle carrying explosives used to manufacture the deadly devices.
The crew were forced to abandon a planned missile attack and opened fire with a 27mm cannon to minimise the threat to civilians, bringing the vehicle to a standstill.
