As the Taliban insurgency continues to gain momentum in Afghanistan, the country's fragile infrastructure is increasingly at risk of attack. Freelance writer Lizette Potgieter spent time at a power plant outside Kabul, and sent RT this special report.

Technopromexport's Russian specialists have built power plants world-wide which have withstood the hardest test - the test of time. Yet, recent political developments at the Naglu hydro power plant situated half-way between Kabul and Jalalabad in Afghanistan, are casting a shadow over the future of the plant and its workers. http://www.russiatoday.com/features/news/30668
