PESHAWAR/ISLAMABAD: In a major development, American forces Friday vacated the Bagram Airbase their main military base in Afghanistan that once housed 100,000 troops to fight al-Qaeda and Taliban.
Some US troops are still in Kabul, and if they are pulled out, it would bring an end to the longest war in the US history. Though some more US troops have yet to withdraw from another base in Kabul, Bagram pullout brings an end to the United States longest war in its history on a foreign land.
Taliban confirmed that the US forces had vacated the airbase and handed it over to the Afghan security forces. The Taliban, however, said they didn’t have an immediate plan to capture the Bagram Airbase.
