Afghanistan - 1980 and file

Since the Soviet invasion of their country 4 months ago, Afghan rebels have put up a resistance few thought they were capable of. The Russians have had to move in more and more troops and the country has been closed to Western journalists. As the West debates what stand to take, Afghan refugees pour into Pakistan threatening financial and social disruption in that country.
