Afghan anger over US’s sudden, silent Bagram departure
Military officials say troops turned off power and slipped away without notifying new commander
US forces plunged their main operating base in Afghanistan into darkness and abandoned it to looters, when they slipped away in the middle of the night after two decades without notifying their Afghan allies.
The furtive departure from Bagram airbase, which is vital to the security of Kabul and holds around 5,000 prisoners, infuriated Afghans.
