An Uzbek woman cries as she looks for her son among Soviet troops near the town of Termez in Uzbekistan, some 30km from the Afghan-Soviet border. Moscow's forces pulled out of the country in 1989 after a decade of war in which tens of thousands of Soviet soldiers and many more Afghans died. A senior Russian general ruled out on Wednesday Moscow taking part in any military action in Afghanistan in the aftermath of attacks on the USA. Picture taken in March 1989. — REUTERS
