Taliban, Afghan forces clash in Kabul, Afghanistan

Afghan policemen stand guard near the body of a Taliban fighter at Cinema Ariana where clashes between Taliban-linked militants and security forces occurred in Kabul on January 18, 2010. Cabinet ministers approved by Afghanistan's parliament were sworn in at the presidential palace, an official said, while one of the worst attacks on Kabul raged outside the gates. At least five people were killed and almost 40 wounded, officials said, when Taliban-linked militants stormed the center of Kabul at the height of the morning rush hour. UPI/Hossein Fatemi
