From the Bagram Airbase they left, leaving behind a piece
of the New York World Trade Centre that collapsed with such
graphic horror on September 11, 2001. As with previous
occupiers and occupants, the powers that had made this venue
a residence of war operations were cutting their losses and

Over the years, the base, originally built by
