Violence in Afghanistan putting U.S. soldiers, aid workers at risk.
Byline: Mark McDonald
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan _ A violent resurgence of Taliban and al-Qaida fighters in Afghanistan is putting U.S. soldiers and international aid workers at increasing risk, especially in the southern part of the country, the back yard and birthplace of the Taliban.
U.S. military patrols are frequently coming under attack. Highway construction workers _ foreigners and Afghans _ have had their throats slit merely for tampering with Taliban flags placed along roadsides.
Nearly three years after the U.S. military toppled the Taliban government in Afghanistan, it's increasingly obvious that the military effort has failed to fully defeat the enemy, which has regrouped and now threatens efforts to create a stable government there.
