DTN News - AFGHAN WAR NEWS: US Soldiers From Afganistan To The US Transit In Kyrgyzstan
(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - December 18, 2011: US soldiers from the Security Forces Squadron (military police) walk across the airfield upon their arrival from Afganistan to the US transit centre in Manas' airport on the outskirts of the Kyrgyz capital Bishkek on December 18, 2011.
The United States will have to shut down the base it currently uses in Kyrgyzstan for support operations in Afghanistan, after its lease expires in 2014, the Central Asian republic's president-elect said on November 1, 2011. The former Soviet republic is the world's only nation to house both a Russian and a US military base, reflecting a recent rivalry between Moscow and Washington in the energy-rich but turbulent region.
