AFGHANISTAN-US-UNREST
An Afghan interpreter (L) runs for cover as US Army Specialist Kingsley (C) and Private First Class Kicklighter (R), of 2nd Platoon, Baker Company, 2-12 Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, fire on enemy positions as their platoon comes under intense fire during an ambush in the village of Lanyal in the Korengal Valley, Kunar Province, eastern Afghanistan on October 20, 2009. US Defence Secretary Robert Gates on October 21, 2009, denied any rift between US military and civilian leaders over Afghanistan as President Barack Obama weighs a possible major buildup of troops. Obama has come under criticism from some Republicans in Congress over the pace of his deliberations in the past month, and US media report friction between senior officers and the White House.
