Young girls study in an illegal school. One positive spin-off of the bombing campaign is that Kandahar residents have taken advantage of the Taliban's distraction to secretly defy its injunction against educating girls.

DARING TO SHOW THEIR FACES

A group of women in the Afghan capital, Kabul, have thrown off their burqas to demand respect for women's rights after the fall of the Taleban.

SWEET LIBERTY


An Afghan Dervish cries as others pray in their prayer house in Kabul, during the Friday gathering November 23, 2001. Swaying gently at first, chanting in monotones, the roomful of Dervishes slowly builds up to a frenzy of prayers forbidden to them for the past five years of the strict Taliban rule. Dervishes are Sufis, a spiritual offshoot of Islam, who believe their bodies open up to the energy of God when they are in prayer. REUTERS/Damir Sagolj

Agha says if he caught the world's most wanted man, Osama bin Laden he figures, $25 million would buy 100 party balloons at a wholesale price of two cents each. A lot of Afghans are tempted when they learn of President Bush's bounty on the head of bin Laden, but few have even a vague notion of how much that is worth. (AP photo/Brennan Linsley)
