Following the complete withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan,
a video taken by Los Angeles Times correspondent Nabih Bulos
shows a group of Taliban fighters entering a hangar at the Kabul airport
and examining what was left behind by the US military.

Following the complete withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan,
a video taken by Los Angeles Times correspondent Nabih Bulos showed a group of Taliban fighters
entering a hangar at the Kabul airport early Tuesday local time.

The video shows the fighters examining the CH-46 Sea Knight helicopter commonly known as the “Phrog” parked inside the hangar.

Bulos — who is seen accompanying the Taliban fighters — posted the video on his verified Twitter account.
The Taliban also posted video of what appeared to show its fighters celebrating at the airport.

I really can not understand why the US troops haven't put all equipment together in one building and blew it to pieces. Or at least put heavy explosives in it and booby-trap it..... :twisted:

The Taliban may not be able to get the helicopters and airplanes flying again. But I am sure they have mechanics who can make very good use of the armored vehicles left behind. Are the Americans so naive, stupid or don't they care at all???
