BAGRAM, Afghanistan, July 11 (Xinhua) Still surrounded by concrete walls and razor wire, the Bagram Airfield, also known as Bagram Airbase, had been home to the U.S. troops in Afghanistan in the past 20 years.
The airbase was handed over to the Afghan forces early this month. Nothing important has left at the airbase, Gen. Mir Assadullah Kohistani, now commander of the airbase, told Xinhua. The U.S. forces had destroyed all the facilities and military equipment that the Afghan forces could not use or their shifting to America was expensive.
