| These workers in Afghanistan explore the wreckage of a truck, presumably bombed by guerrilla fighters. From 1979 to 1989 Soviet troops occupied major cities and roads in Afghanistan. Afghan rebels harassed the Soviets with guerrilla tactics such as ambushes, sniper fire, and booby traps. The civil war that followed the Soviet withdrawal increased damage to Afghanistan as rebel factions fought for control of the country. | ||||||
