Tarnak Farms refers to a former Al Qaeda training camp near Kandahar, Afghanistan.

The camp is very near the Kandahar airport.

The Al-Qaeda camp is alleged to have offered training constructing bombs, using poisons, urban warfare, andassassination. American counter-terrorism analysts assert that their sources claim all the camp's trainees had to attend Al Qaeda's Al Farouq camp first. American counter-terrorism analysts assert that their sources claim that all trainees have to be prepared to serve as suicide bombers.

After the United States forces took over the airport they used the ruins for their own training exercises.]]>

Roberts ridge

By: giove
@ 2009-03-11 10:08:45
In the early morning hours of March 4, 2002, on a mountaintop called Takur Ghar in southeastern Afghanistan, al Qaeda soldiers fired on an MH-47E helicopter carrying a
Special Operations Forces (SOF) reconnaissance element. This fire resulted in a Navy SEAL, ABH1 Neal Roberts, falling out of the helicopter, and began a chain of events
culminating in one of the most intense small-unit firefights of the war against terrorism;
the death of all the al Qaeda terrorists defending the mountain top; and, sadly, resulting also in the death of seven U.S. servicemen. Despite these losses, the U.S. forces involved in this fight again distinguished themselves by conspicuous bravery. Their countless acts of heroism demonstrated the best of America’s Special Operations Forces (SOF) as Army, Navy and Air Force special operators fought side by side to save one of their own, and each other, and in the process secured the mountain top and inflicted serious loss on the al Qaeda.

From whc.unesco.org:

Bamiyan Cliff is located on the north side of the valley, and
includes the two colossal niches that contained the large
standing Buddha figures (55m and 38m), dating from 3rd to
5th century CE, one of the them the tallest in the world.
They were destroyed by the Taliban in March 2001. In
16th century CE, the site is reported to have contained
some 12,000 caves, forming a large ensemble of Buddhist
monasteries, chapels and sanctuaries, along the foothills of
the valley. A preliminary geophysical exploration in 2002
has indicated the presence of ancient roads and wall
structures. In several of the caves and niches, often linked
with communicating galleries, there are remains of wall
paintings. There are also remains of seated Buddha figures.]]>

The fort of Kolola Pushta overlooks the Sherpur and Shahr-e Nau districts of Kabul, sitting on a round hill that gives the fort its name. An important garrison and armoury for the Afghan army, its capture in December in 1928 by the Tajik rebel Bach Saqao led to the fall of Kabul and overthrow of Amanullah. The fort is still garrisoned. ]]>

The palace built by King Amannullah in the 1920s is set into a small hill in front of the Kabul museum with the once impressive four-mile avenue (once lined with poplars) past the former Soviet embassy, schools and ministries leading to it. Fighting from 1992 onwards destroyed the building but it remains one of the most impressive, albeit shattered structures in Kabul. The palace was used by King Amannullah and was later used as the Justice ministry and Defence ministry. The equally striking former Defence Ministry is on the hills behind.]]>

Chaman-i-Houzouri (a.k.a. Jeshn Ground)
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: doranchak
@ 2005-06-28 14:12:35
The Chaman-i-Houzouri lies at the foot of Tapa Maranjan. This open field was a golf course during the reign of Amir Habibullah (1901–1919). Today it is a favorite meeting ground, especially on Fridays and during holidays such as Jeshn-i-Jamhuriat (July 17–19), Republic Day. Occasionally spectacular competitions in tent-pegging are held here. Superb riders on gaily caparisoned horses gallop past, long lances lowered, and attempt to spear a series of small pegs planted in the ground. Once a practice sport for young warriors training to ride through a rival encampment and literally bring it down upon their enemy’s heads, it is now an exacting sport in which riders from the Ghazni-Katawaz area excel. Other sports events take place in Ghazi Stadium, next to the Chaman. The Jeshn exhibition buildings and the Kabul Nandari (Theater) stand in a ring around an artificial lake between the Chaman and Tapa Maranjan.]]>
