Afghanistan's hidden war http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/5220514.stm

The scale of the fighting in southern Afghanistan has dramatically increased over the past few months.

But there is another war going on at a much more local level, targeting government infrastructure across the country. Local politicians, police chiefs and judges are being assassinated, and schools are being closed due to intimidation or being burned to the ground, as Alastair Leithead reports. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/5220514.stm
