2.   Dotting the roadside are symbols of the Hezbollah.

3.   Now, sheep and goats graze on the thin grass growing in the desert and Bedouin tents dot the roadsides.

4.   The scorched and gutted shells of homes dot the roadside.

5.   Makeshift graves dot the roadsides, and many bodies have not yet been recovered from under the ruins.

6.   Nobody would drive after dark through the devastated Prigorodny district, where the ruins of Ingush and Ossetian houses dot the roadside.
