U.S. begins military withdrawal in Afghanistan

CNN– The U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan is now formally underway. U.S. air crafts have moved fewer than 100 troops, military equipment contractors and government workers from the country. The Pentagon has said it is concerned about attacks from the Taliban as personnel departs, but they are sending 650 ground troops into Afghanistan as a covering force.

The process is due to be completed by September 11.
