KANDAHAR A CITY ON EDGE

KANDAHAR, AFGHANISTAN -- MAY 7, 2021: Mohammad Nazir, 38, visits the Arab shrine, dedicated to the scores of Arab Al Qaeda fighters and their families, all killed in the waning days of 2001 when America first unleashed its wrath on the country, in Kandahar, Afghanistan, Friday, May 7, 2021. Their graves Ñ hard earth mounds and crypts with flags and colorful scarves stretched out on bamboo poles Ñ have become a shrine, a pilgrimage site for those who seek divine healing power. Dozens wander here every day, praying in front of a grave, rubbing pinches of earth on their knees or touching the ground for blessing. For them, the buried are martyrs to the jihad that swept the Taliban to power, brought America to this country and now its exit. (MARCUS YAM / LOS ANGELES TIMES)
