On Patrol With US And Afghan Forces

GARDEZ, AFGHANISTAN - SEPTEMBER 4: A Pashtun man smiles as his car is checked, as the Afghan National Police, backed up by US Army's 82nd Airborne Division, search for unauthorized weapons on September 4, 2007, in Gardez, Paktia Province in southeast Afghanistan. The searches are part of "Operation Khyber," launched by Afghan and US forces of Nato's International Stability Assistance Force (ISAF) on August 22 to extend government control in a series of districts with strong Taliban influence near Afghanistan's border with Pakistan.
