Associated Press, KABUL, Afghanistan: The main U.S. bases in Afghanistan are getting an $83 million upgrade, an Air Force general said Monday, a fresh sign American forces may remain in Central Asia for years.
Meanwhile, in a reminder of the instability still busying 25,000 foreign troops, a roadside bomb hit a Canadian Embassy vehicle and another car in Kabul, injuring at least four people.
Brig. Gen. Jim Hunt said the millions were being spent on construction projects already underway at Bagram, the main U.S. base north of Kabul, and Kandahar in the south. Both are being equipped with new runways.
