(170911) -- LOGAR (AFGHANISTAN), Sept. 11, 2017 (Xinhua) -- An Afghan man prays in front of a tomb of a victim who was killed in U.S. airstrikes in Khalil Abad village, outskirt of Pul-e-Alam, Afghanistan, Sept. 7, 2017. The Taliban regime collapsed under the U.S.-led military invasion in late 2001. However, militants loyal to the ousted Taliban regime staged a violent comeback in 2006 and since then the hardliner group and some 20 more like-minded outfits have been fighting tooth and nail to evict the U.S.-led forces from Afghanistan to re-establish their own regime.
