Survivor's Tale - Afghanistan
June 2008 Internationally acclaimed Photographer Stephen Dupont narrowly escaped a suicide blast in Afghanistan. After 20 years of recording the plight of others, he was now turning the lens on himself. Just after the explosion, Dupont pulled out his camera and began capturing the chaos. He filmed himself, blood running down his face, as he searched for his lost colleague, not knowing if he was dead or alive. With such media-targeted attacks increasing, what will happen if journalists stop covering conflict-zones? "We wont be able to bring back the message or tell both sides of the story...there'll be no story to cover".

Despite being the Soviet Union's largest military operation since the second world war, the decade-long war in Afghanistan is regarded by many as a humiliation and the Soviet 'Vietnam'.

Karzai's War - Afghanistan
June 2003 Hamid Karzai's early attempts to restore security in Afghanistan are being hampered by the Taliban, who are using Pakistan as a base to launch further attacks. In post-Taliban Afghanistan, politics remains a deadly business. The vice president and a cabinet minister have been murdered and Karzai himself narrowly escaped assassination. The most serious threat comes from a re-invigorated Taliban. They are distancing themselves from Al Qaeda and allying themselves with disgruntled warlords. Ahmed Rashid, one of the world's leading analysts of the Taliban, believes they are being covertly assisted by Pakistan: "The intelligence agencies have given freedom of movement and freedom of access across the border to the Taliban." In the madrasses of North West Pakistan, new Taliban...
