KABUL: After almost 20 years, the US military left Bagram Airfield, the center of his war to overthrow the Taliban and hunt down the perpetrators of Al Qaeda from the 9/11 terrorist attack in America, two US officials said Friday.
The airfield was handed over to the national security and national defense of the Afghanistan as a whole, they said that they were not identified because they were not authorized to release them to the media.
One official also said the US peak commander in Afghanistan, General Austin S Miller, “still retains all the abilities and authorities to protect strength.” Withdrawal is the clearest indication that the last US forces from 2,500-3,500 US troops have left Afghanistan or approaching departure, a few months before President Joe Biden’s promise that they will leave on September 11.
Obviously soon after mid-April the announcement that the US ended the “war forever” that the departure of the US soldiers and an estimated 7,000 NATO allies would be closer to July 4, when America celebrated his independence day.
Most NATO soldiers have quietly come out this week.
The US refused to say when the last US army would leave Afghanistan, citing security issues, but also the protection of Hamid Karzai International Airport Kabul was still negotiated.
Turkish and US soldiers currently protect the airport.
Protection is currently covered under a firm support mission, which is a military mission currently closed.
Until the New Testament for the protection of the airport was negotiated between Turkey and the Afghan government, and perhaps the United States, a firm support mission will continue.
The U.S.
It will also have around 6,500 troops in Afghanistan to protect his embassy in the capital.
At its peak, Bagram Airfield saw more than 100,000 US troops past the compound of almost an hour of driving in the north of the Capital of Afghanistan Kabul.
