Doesn't really matter where you plant a booby trap. One location is not morally better than another. Some places may be more likely to kill those seen as the enemy and so cleverer than other places.

Could also be propaganda designed to portray an adversary as less than human. Like this story:

So the Russians supposedly took the time to booby trap the bodies of their dead comrades rather than evacuate them. Don't really believe that.

Bodies of the dead often booby-trapped too. Explode when recovery teams attempt to police the remains.
