Afghan looters ransack Bagram Air Base and hawk basketballs, stereo speakers, laptops, and bicycle helmets after US troops bugged out in the dead of night
|
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - Afghan locals started hawking contraband after looters ransacked Bagram Air Base over the weekend
- Bicycles, helmet, laptop computers, and pieces of scrap were sold after the looting over the weekend
- Massive base includes 50-bed hospital and giant hangar size tents filled with supplies such as furniture
- Americans also left a fleet of SUVs without the keys to start them as well as hundreds of armored vehicles
- Since 2001, Bagram Air Base north of Kabul served as a linchpin for the US war in Afghanistan
- At its peak in 2012, Bagram saw more than 100,000 U.S. and NATO troops pass through sprawling compound
- Last week, US soldiers left the base as the 20-year-long war in Afghanistan comes to an end
- The soldiers left without telling local officials, meaning its gates were left unsecured
- On Friday morning, locals moved in under the cover of darkness and looted several buildings
- US-backed Afghan forces gained control of the base, but it remains a shell of its former self
- Photos taken on Friday show the base eerily quiet and almost abandoned
- There are now fears it will be taken over by the Taliban who are gaining increasing control across Afghanistan
