AFGHANISTAN-NATO-UNREST
In this photograph taken on October 3, 2009, British soldiers buy souvenirs at a carpet shop at the boardwalk recreational square in Kandahar city military base of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force in southern Afghanistan. The US Army faces a major challenge to win back the Taliban's historic stronghold of Kandahar -- a key battleground in the increasingly bloody fight to control Afghanistan. A combat brigade of about 4,000 US soldiers has been sent to the volatile 54,000-square-kilometre (21,000-square-mile) southern province.Until their arrival, just 2,800 Canadian troops had spent the last three years trying to ensure security for the province's 900,000 people.
