As cold nights sap their energy to fight in the lowlands and snow chokes mountain passes, the Taliban flood into Afghan refugee camps to the north of the Pakistani capital for the winter.

BBC NEWS | World | Americas | Obama rejects Senate replacementBarack Obama says Democratic senators should reject the man proposed by Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich to replace Mr Obama in the US Senate.
Mr Blagojevich is the subject of a criminal inquiry and has been charged with attempting to "sell" Mr Obama's now-vacant seat to the highest bidder.
The governor defied pressure to pick Roland Burris, the state's former attorney general, to fill the position.
Democratic senators have vowed to veto anyone appointed by Mr Blagojevich.
The president-elect said he agreed the Senate "cannot accept" a new senator chosen by Mr Blagojevich, adding that Mr Blagojevich himself should resign.
