This clip shows a humble PlayStation 1 controller, seized by US forces in a raid on a bomb-making “factory” in a remote village in Afghanistan. The soldier says it’s there as an initiator device, which for the improvised explosive devices (or IEDs) so popular amongst Taliban and insurgent forces in Afghanistan and Iraq is the mechanism used to set the bomb off.
