US military leaves Bagram base in Afghanistan after nearly two decades

Bagram July 2 (EFE).- The United States military has vacated the Bagram Airfield, a US official said Friday, moving a step closer to hand over the largest defense facility to the Afghan government that served as a nerve center in the two decades of war against Taliban and Al Qaeda militants.

“Yes, all coalition forces are off Bagram,” the US defense official told EFE, strictly asking not to be named because of the sensitivity of the matter. (Camera: HANDOUT).
