A US soldier of Bravo Company keeps watch inside a camouflaged gun turret

A US soldier of Bravo Company 2/508th PIR, 4th BTC, 82 Airborne (Air Assault) keeps watch inside a camouflaged gun turret of an armoured military vehicle at an under-construction base in Kukaran in Kandahar province as dawn breaks on August 6, 2010. The Pentagon on August 5 urged whistleblower website WikiLeaks to 'do the right thing,' and return thousands of leaked US military documents and stop any future public releases. Some 70,000 classified documents on Afghanistan were published by WikiLeaks in late July. The files contained a string of damaging claims, including allegations that Pakistani spies met directly with the Taliban and that deaths of innocent civilians at the hands of international forces were covered up.

An Afghan man walks inside the empty seat of the Buddha

In this picture taken on July 29, 2010 An Afghan man walks inside the empty seat of the Buddha, which was destroyed by the Taliban, in Bamiyan. Bamiyan, some 200 kilometres (124 miles) northwest of Kabul, stands in a deep green and lush valley stretching 100 kilometres through central Afghanistan, on the former Silk Road that once linked China with Central Asia and beyond. The town was home to two nearly 2,000-year-old Buddha statues before they were destroyed by the Taliban, months before their regime was toppled in a US-led invasion in late 2001.
