Former Taliban fighters display their weapons after joining Afghan government forces during a ceremony in Herat on March 19, 2013. Foreign combat troops are due to withdraw from Afghanistan by the end of 2014 and there are fears that the Taliban will extend their activities across wider swathes of the country against ill-prepared Afghan forces.
