The U.S. military left Bagram Airfield, the epicenter of its nearly 20-year war to oust the Taliban and hunt down al-Qaida, the perpetrators of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Officials say the airfield was handed over to Afghanistan's forces in its entirety.

as of this week. Announcements from several countries analyzed by The Associated Press show that a majority of European troops has now left with little ceremony — a stark contrast to the dramatic and public show of force and unity when NATO allies lined up to back the U.S. invasion in 2001.

The U.S. will also have about 650 troops in Afghanistan to protect its sprawling embassy in the capital. Their presence it is understood will be covered in a bilateral agreement with the Afghan government. At its peak around 2012, Bagram Airfield saw more than 100,000 U.S. troops pass through its sprawling compound barely an hour’s drive north of the Afghan capital Kabul.Not least, it’s the second time that an invader of Afghanistan has come and gone through Bagram.
