Afghanistan In March 2012

In place of uneasy February came in March, and it was even harder for the Coalition Forces. March 11 U.S. Army Sergeant Robert Beyls killed 17 Afghan civilians, including nine children. Now Beyls is in custody and will likely be sentenced to death. Passion after the burning of the Koran had not yet subside when Beyls arranged slaughter, thus aggravating an already tense situation in Afghanistan. In the U.S., fewer people support the troops stay in Afghanistan, but the administration of President Barack Obama is in no hurry to change the timetable for their withdrawal. According to this schedule last unit should return home in 2014. In this collection - photos from Afghanistan in the past month.
