US troops have pulled out from the Pech River Valley in eastern Afghanistan, leaving the area under the control of the Taliban.

Al Jazeera's Hashem Ahelbarra has this exclusive report on the Taliban patrol unit that has taken over a base that was, until very recently, considered by the Americans as being central to their strategy.
