NATO International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) soldiers attend a ceremony marking the end of ISAF’s combat mission in Afghanistan at ISAF headquarters in Kabul on Dec. 28th, 2014. NATO formally ended its war in Afghanistan, holding a ceremony after 13 years of conflict that have left the country in the grip of worsening insurgent violence. The event was arranged in secret due to the threat of Taliban strikes in the Afghan capital, which has been hit by repeated suicide bombings and gun attacks over recent years. |
