It's been a year since the last U.S. troops were pulled out of Afghanistan after 20 years of war. But while the battles have ended, there are still outbreaks of violence, including a bomb attack outside the Russian Embassy in Kabul on Monday morning.
CBS News correspondent Imtiaz Tyab recently returned to Afghanistan and visited a village that was caught in the crossfire during the height of the war, and he met some of the people still struggling to rebuild their lives.
Tyab found the streets of Wardak Province bustling once again. Less than an hour's drive from Kabul, the Taliban stronghold saw little of the progress and freedom that the capital Kabul did during the two decades of America's longest war. The village of Daagbaghri is just one of many in the region that became trapped in the middle of the war. Today, it looks like a jumble of ancient ruins. But the pain from what happened in the village is still felt by those who once called it home.It's hard to imagine that only 20 years ago, when the U.S. launched its invasion of Afghanistan to topple the Taliban, that Daagbaghri was a thriving village full of families. It quickly became a front line between the Taliban and U.S. forces.
