Hi,
Look at this sentence as if taken were written before scene. It's somewhat an elision.
"...it was more like a scene taken from Afghanistan."
That's why from is correct, and you shouldn't replace it with in.
Regards

If a scane is taken from Afghanistan, does it mean that the scene is removed from the country?
