From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Karshi-Khanabad is an airbase in south-eastern Uzbekistan leased by the government of Uzbekistan to the United States. The U.S. has used the base, also known as K2, since 2001 to support missions against al-Qaeda in neighboring Afghanistan. On July 29, 2005, amid strained relations caused by the May 2005 unrest in Uzbekistan, the U.S. was told to vacate the base within six months.
It was vacated by the United States in January 2006.
