Most US troops leave Jacobabad
2004-11-01
Most US troops stationed at the Shahbaz Airbase in Jacobabad left for home on Saturday night. The airbase has been in the use of the US forces since the beginning of the Afghanistan war. Sources said some 250 US military men were stationed at the base. They said only a few troops were now left at the airbase.
And I'll bet they're just happy as clams in chowder...

#1  Jacobabad is in Pakistan. I think this airbase was used for logistics support for Afghanistan. We haven't reduced the number of troops in Afghanistan, so why is this base no longer needed? What's replaced it?
