Iraq On Bomb Detectors

For nearly a decade, anyone driving through one of Baghdad's many checkpoints was subjected to a search by a soldier pointing a security wand at their vehicle and watching the device intently to see if its antenna moved. If it pointed at the car, it had supposedly detected a possible bomb.

A British millionaire is facing jail after he was convicted on Tuesday of selling fake bomb detectors to Iraq and other countries.
