Daily Mail: Bastion on the brink: American Special Forces defend former British HQ as Taliban close in - and Afghan army pays the rebels not to attack
* Camp Bastion, in Afghanistan, is in danger of being over-run by the Taliban
* Former British Army base is being protected by US Special Forces soldiers
* Security source says Afghan army is paying Taliban not to attack the site
* Final 1,500 British troops left headquarters in Helmand Province last year
Camp Bastion, the former British Army headquarters in Helmand, Afghanistan, is in such danger of being over-run by the Taliban that an American Special Forces team has been deployed to protect it.
In a shocking indictment of how far security has collapsed in the province since Britain handed over the base to the Afghan National Army (ANA) last year, the United States has been forced to use 90 ‘Special Operations’ soldiers to defend the site.
