'Taxi to the Dark Side'

Dilawar was 22 when he was killed. He left behind a wife and a 2-year-old daughter, as well as brothers, a father and the friends and neighbors who had watched him grow into a young man in the small peanut-farming village of Yakubi.

Yakubi sits at latitude 33.4608 degrees north, longitude 69.99 degrees east, in a high valley in mountainous eastern Afghanistan. If you type those coordinates into a Google Maps search, you can zoom in and out of satellite photos confirming that Yakubi is in the middle of nowhere.
