Bagram airbase not handed over to US: Taliban govt clears the air
KABUL (Web Desk) – Afghanistan government has dismissed news circulating online which stated that the Taliban-led administration has handed over Bagram airbase to United States.
Recent media reports claimed that the Taliban have given control of the Bagram airbase to the US.
Reports further claimed the US military airplanes including a C-17 plane reached Bagram carrying senior intelligence officials.
Taliban government spox Zabiullah Mujahid has labelled the news as propaganda and added no foreign military personnel would be allowed in Afghanistan.
