(Reuters) - Soldiers, who are victims of landmines, exercise in a rehabilitation center at a military base in Medellin, Antioquia province, September 26, 2006. Home-made mines crafted from tin cans and containers, hidden in trees, rivers and buried on pathways, killed or wounded 1,100 people last year, according to the Landmine Monitor. It was the highest figure of any country in the world. More than half of Colombia's victims are soldiers, but in rural hamlets like those in Antioquia department in northwestern Colombia children have been crippled working in fields, farmers maimed bringing in cattle and families wounded as they flee recent combat or threats.
