KABUL, Afghanistan, Dec. 28 (UPI) -- The U.S. led, 13-year war in Afghanistan was declared over by NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg.
NATO announced Sunday that the war will transition into a non-combat role for NATO and officially end Wednesday. About 12,000 NATO and partner-nation personnel will remain to "train, advise and assist" Afghanistan's 350,000 soldiers. The new mission, "Resolute Support," will also concentrate on counter-terrorism.
