The Valley – Kunar, Afghanistan

A Afghan man holds a wounded young boy in front of a house in Yaka China village, Korengal Valley, Kunar Province, East Afghanistan on Oct. 20, 2007. The boy received several shrapnel wounds from a rocket as a U.S. airstrike targeted a suspected insurgent position in a nearby house the previous night. The air strike also killed five other civilians and injured at least seven villagers including children.
