According to reports on Sunday, the Afghan military handed the base to the Taliban after militant forces entered Kabul.<\/p>\n<p>The base is known to house prisoners from both Taliban and Islamic State groups who have been classified as terrorist fighters and who have now been freed since the invasion. The Taliban has suggested it\u2019s trying to take over the capital and claimed they want to bring peace once they do.<\/p>\n<p>Bagram was built by the Soviet Union in the 1950s and occupied by U.S. and NATO forces until July. According to the Afghan military, the U.S. pulled its forces from the base in the middle of the night without notifying Afghan officials beforehand.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Thinking tonight about all the Afghans who only knew what life was like over the past 20 years.
