After 13 years fighting a war in Afghanistan,

British troops have handed over control of Camp Bastion

and ended their combat role.

 

The war has claimed the lives of thousands of civilians,

military personnel and Taliban insurgents

and cost billions of pounds.

 

This is the story of the Afghanistan war in numbers.

 

Estimates for civilian deaths

are from costofwar.org UN records began in 2009

Afghanistan war        2001-2020

 

Operation

Enduring Freedom

began on Oct. 7, 2001,

with an American

bombing campaign

against Al Qaeda

and the Taliban.

 

On the ground,

American Special

Operations forces

teams linked up

with Afghan militias

opposed to the Taliban,

mainly

the Northern Alliance,

to drive the Taliban

from power.

 

The capital, Kabul,

fell in mid-November,

along with the Taliban

stronghold of Kandahar.

 

In December,

Osama bin Laden,

Al Qaeda’s leader,

escaped to Pakistan

through the mountains

around Tora Bora.

 

That same month,

an interim

Afghan government

led by Hamid Karzai

was installed.

 

A United Nations

Security Council resolution

established the International

Security Assistance Force,

or ISAF,

a military coalition led

by the United States.
