US builds new Afghan airbase

excerpts:

    The US military is building a new airbase in south-eastern Afghanistan, in a remote desert area near the border with Pakistan.

    The move is aimed at improving security in the region.

    In less than four days' time, the troops of the 27th Combat Engineering Battalion aim to have created an airstrip capable of taking C-130 transport aircraft.
