Afghanistan's Tora Bora is a region located in the White Mountains of eastern Afghanistan. It is known for its caves and tunnels, which were used by Al-Qaeda and Taliban forces during the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in 2001. The name 'Tora Bora' translates to 'Black Dust' in Pashto, and it is believed to have been given to the region due to the dark color of the soil. The region has been the site of numerous battles between Afghan forces and foreign invaders, and it remains an important strategic location in the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan.
