Kandahar (Afghanistan)
In the 1960s, Kandahar International Airport was built by the United States 10 miles (16 kilometers) south-east of the city. It was used by the Soviet Army during their ten-year occupation of the country. As of 2001, the airport is used by U.S. and NATO forces as one of their major military bases.
During the Soviet war in Afghanistan (1979–1989), Kandahar was under Soviet command and witnessed heavy fighting. Soviet troops surrounded the city and subjected it to heavy bombardment in which many civilians lost lives.[23][/sup]
After the Soviet withdrawal and the collapse of Najibullah's government in 1992, Kandahar fell into the hands of a local mujahideen commander, Gul Agha Sherzai.
In August 1994 the Taliban captured Kandahar and soon after the city was turned into their capital.
The Taliban began cleaning the city from warlords and criminals who were sometimes involved in bacha bazi.
In December 1999, a hijacked Indian Airlines Flight 814 plane by Pakistani militants loyal to Harkat-ul-Mujahideen landed at Kandahar Airport and kept the passengers hostage as part of a demand to release 3 Pakistani militants held in Indian custody.
In October 2001, as part of Operation Enduring Freedom, the United States Navy began hitting targets inside the city by precision-guided cruise missiles that were fired from the Persian Gulf.
These targets were the airport and buildings that were occupied by the Taliban, including Arab families who had arrived several years earlier and were residing in the area.[24][/sup] About a month later, the Taliban began surrendering in mass numbers to a private militia that had been formed by Gul Agha Sherzai and Hamid Karzai.[25][/sup] Kandahar once again fell into the hands of Sherzai, who had control over the area before the rise of the Taliban. Sherzai was transferred in 2003 and replaced by Yousef Pashtun until Asadullah Khalid took the post in 2005. The current Governor of the province is Tooryalai Wesa.
