The United States has completed its withdrawal from Kandahar Airfield in southern Afghanistan, once the second largest military base in the country for U.S. forces, officials said on Friday. Kandahar province was the birthplace of the Taliban and has in recent months seen intense clashes between the resurgent militants and Afghan forces. U.S. airstrikes were launched from the base just last week to help Afghan forces push back a major Taliban offensive.More Related News
