Afghanistan

A dead insurgent killed by Afghan Police in a battle stored in an abandoned building next to an Afghan police station in Zhari District, Kandahar Province, Afghanistan. The police held the remains of the insurgent so they could use it to trade with the Taliban for the body of a police officer the insurgents had killed, held and refused to return. This has been the most violent year in the country since the 2001 invasion.
