The IED was on the Northside of the road on the west side of the bridge crossing the Helmand river in Gereshk. The NGOs move on that route at the same time every day. As they were heading from east to west the IED detonated at approximately 0730Z. We suspect it was one or more artillery rounds due to the shrapnel pattern on the truck and the complete destruction of the guard shack that concealed the IED. There was rumor that the bomb was disguised as a bike, however we did not see remains of a bike.
