Does anybody know where to find combat zone sounds from the middle east (Afghanistan) and then I mean gun shooting, people screaming in panic (Arabic) etc... It is for a Afghanistan war scene.
You're best bet is to try and recreate this soundscape from the ground up. I don't think there are many (if any) people that go to Afghanistan specifically to take some sound recordings (let alone upload them here!).
I would recommend you look for explosions and gun sounds on here, and then tweak them however you require to create the soundscape you are after.
A quick search for distant explosions can be found here.
Or if none of those work, you can always take a look at the sounds of closer explosions, and try to recreate distance yourself using equalization, echo and any other plug-ins you have.
For the gun sounds, you can apply the same principles.
As for the voices, you can find some pretty nice screams on this site that you can tweak and add to the explosions and gun sounds you've already added from above. Finding voices specifically in Arabic will be a lot more harder, particularly ones of good quality, and is something I recommend you try to record yourself. However, a quick search of "arabic" on this site could pull up some interesting results.
Outside of Freesound, there are some sound libraries that can offer several war sound effects and soundscapes, but of course, those can cost money. One cheap library I recently looked at is "CaptainAudio" from Sound Ideas, which has two war soundscapes you might find useful.
In the end, I think it is far easier to simply recreate the sounds you are after, rather than trying to chase down an authentic war zone recording from Afghanistan.
