As the U.S.-backed Afghan government collapsed in mid-August last year, dozens of Afghan pilots fled to Central Asian countries, including Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Afghan air force pilots played a key role, alongside their U.S. counterparts, in the 20-year war against Taliban insurgents that ended with the departure of foreign troops last year. The airstrikes inflicted heavy casualties among the Taliban and repeatedly drove them from positions they had seized in different parts of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last year about 140 Afghan pilots and others were flown out of Tajikistan then to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates and their final destination in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Separately, three civilians were wounded when a bicycle bomb exploded in Kabul, said Khalid Zadran, spokesman for the the capital\u2019s police chief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The attack occurred in the Shai neighborhood and there was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recently, the Islamic State group has claimed similar attacks in the country. IS has waged a bloody campaign of attacks on Taliban targets and minority groups, particularly Shiites whom the extremist IS considers heretics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Taliban\u2019s defense ministry said at least three Afghan crew members were killed when a U.S.-manufactured Black Hawk helicopter
