A graveyard in the Afghan city of Khost, where the bodies of Taleban and foreign Arab fighters killed by US bombing in 2001 were laid to rest has become a shrine to local people.
Sick people come to the shrine and pray and they feel better. Some people pay a tribute by leaving money to their fallen heroes who died while praying. People are flocking here from different parts of Afghanistan and even from Pakistan.
A trader in the top photo sells salt at the graveyard, which some people believe will cure them of their illnesses.
