An Uzbek soldier guards a checkpoint on a road to the Friendship Bridge (rear) near the southern town of Termez, December 12, 2001. Uzbekistan opened a key border bridge, which spans the Amu Darya river, for aid deliveries to Afghanistan. Following the launch of the U.S. military campaign against the hard-line Taliban and their "guest" Osama bin Laden, international aid organizations had urged the opening of the Friendship Bridge, built in 1982 by the Soviet Union to supply its force in Afghanistan.
