 Afghan police take part in celebrations marking the donation of new buses from Germany

Afghan police officers take part in celebrations marking the donation of new buses from Germany to help outfit the struggling force in Kabul, January 16, 2003. Afghanistan's police force was devastated following years of civil war and the rule of the harsh Taliban regime, which ended after a U.S. bombing campaign in late 2001.
