AN AFGHAN FIGHTER WALKS PAST A RUSSIAN TANK ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF
KANDAHAR.
An Afghan fighter loyal to the Governor of Kandahar, Gul Agha, walks
past a row of old Russian tanks at a check point on the outskirts of
Afghanistan's southern city of Kandahar January 14, 2002. Afghanistan's
fragile interim government relies on unpaid volunteers to fill the rank
of its new police force and army in the face of lawliness following the
over throw of the Taliban last bastion in Kandahar last month.
