AFGHANISTAN-UNREST

Afghan mourners and relatives pray in front of the slain Afghan Local Police (ALP) officer killed during a wave of Taliban attacks in Helmand on November 14, 2017. Dozens of Afghan police and soldiers have been killed in a wave of Taliban attacks on checkpoints in Afghanistan, officials said on November 14, as insurgents step up assaults on the beleaguered security forces. The raids in the southern province of Kandahar and the western province of Farah on Monday night came hours after a suicide attacker rammed an explosives-laden vehicle into a US military convoy, wounding four soldiers. / AFP PHOTO / NOOR MOHAMMAD (Photo credit should read NOOR MOHAMMAD/AFP via Getty Images)
