US forces leave Afghan province
Middle East
US special forces handed security control over the troubled Wardak province to the Afghan military on Saturday, ending a weeks-long dispute over abuse allegations that prompted Afghan President Hamid Karzai to order all American forces out of the area.
The Afghan president had angrily insisted that US forces leave the province over the alleged torture, kidnapping and summary execution of militant suspects there – charges US officials firmly denied.
Afghan police officers stationed at the base were initially blamed for the above transgressions.
