A hydro-electric turbine is unloaded for a convoy during Op OQAB TSUKA, in Afghanistan, in this undated handout photograph received in London on September 2, 2008. British troops backed by special forces completed one of the largest logistical operations of the 7-year Afghan conflict on Tuesday, delivering a 200-tonne turbine to a remote Taliban-dominated region. The huge turbine, which promises to deliver power across south Afghanistan once running, was carried by a 100-vehicle convoy that inched its way across Taliban territory for five days to reach a hydroelectric dam on the Kajaki reservoir.
