But after large swathes of the country fell under the Islamic State group’s (ISIS) campaign of terror in 2014, they found themselves dealing with a new type of evil - ISIS’ improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

The Iraqi government declared their war with ISIS over. But hundreds of these evil IEDs remain.
It is these devices that Salaam Muhammed has become an expert in. He has been with MAG Iraq since the start, and since 2014 has disarmed over 2,300 IEDs left by ISIS.

Naveen Kumar A posh country estate where half a dozen lovers unveil their infidelities is the setting of “The Cottage,” which opened at Broadway’s Helen Hayes Theater tonight.
