MailOnline reports,
"Bagram Air Base is pillaged by looters after US troops abandon it WITHOUT telling Afghan forces!"
"US forces in Afghanistan abandoned their main base at Bagram Air Base Friday, shutting off the lights and slipping away into the night without telling government forces who were supposed to take it over. By the time the General due to take it over arrived with troops to secure the site, looters had broken in and carried away many items that the soldiers had left behind, including laptops, stereo speakers, bicycles and guitars that were being hawked from second-hand shops by Sunday morning."
"'In one night they lost all the good will of 20 years by leaving the way they did, in the night, without telling the Afghan soldiers who were outside patrolling the area,' said Afghan soldier Naematullah, who asked that only his one name be used. Within 20 minutes of the U.S.'s silent departure on Friday, the electricity was shut down and the base was plunged into darkness, said Raouf, the soldier of 10 years who has also served in Taliban strongholds of Helmand and Kandahar provinces.
