Bush in pursuit of terrorists from Al Qaeda** - including leader Osama bin Laden - for masterminding the September 11, 2001 attacks in the US.,At the time, a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks by the Islamist terrorist group Al Qaeda killed 2,996 people in the US as hijackers crashed two planes into the World Trade Center, hijacking another that failed to reach its target, crashing in Shanksville, Pa., and a third that struck the west side of the Pentagon.,© AP Photo / AMY SANCETTASmoke billows from the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center before they collapsed on September 11, 2001 in New York, NYSmoke billows from the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center before they collapsed on September 11, 2001 in New York, NY© AP Photo / AMY SANCETTA,After suspicion fell onto Al Qaeda, the United States responded by launching the War on Terror and invading Afghanistan under the pretext that the Taliban had failed to comply with Washington’s demands to expel Al Qaeda from the country and extradite the terrorist group’s leader, Osama bin Laden. American-led forces overthrew the Kabul-based Taliban government, which had been in control of large parts of the country since 1996.,Bin Laden was eventually killed nearly a decade later, in 2011, by a group of Navy SEALs who raided his compound in Pakistan. As Washington's attempt to impose Western ideas and forms of government on the country increasingly failed and the situation deteriorated for the Western-backed government in Kabul, the Donald Trump administration opened peace talks with the Taliban.,In February 2020, the Donald Trump administration signed an agreement in Doha, Qatar, between the US and the Taliban on drawing down US involvement based on a "reduction in violence." The "Agreement for Bringing Peace to Afghanistan" set out a series of commitments from the US and the Taliban regarding troop levels, counterterrorism, and intra-Afghan dialogue seeking to bring about "a permanent and comprehensive ceasefire.",The deal stipulated a deadline of May 1 the next year for all US troops to leave the country.,However, in April 2021, President Joe Biden, just seven months into his presidency, unilaterally deviated from the peace deal by extending the timeframe to September 11 and ordered all troops to withdraw from the country by an end of August 2021 deadline, with his decision triggering chaos and bloodshed.,‘Failed Intel’,As the US military began their pull-out, sending home troops and equipment, the emboldened Taliban proceeded with a lightening-swift onslaught. They took over huge swathes of the country, facing little resistance and picking up weapons and vehicles paid for by the US government which Afghan government troops left behind.,US 'Lost Track' of Afghan War Aims, Says Retired Marine General12 August, 17:00 GMT,Afghan officials, including the country’s president, Ashraf Ghani, fled, as the country’s capital, Kabul, was taken over by the militants on August 15, 2021 in a matter of hours.,None of the US intelligence assessments had predicted such a swift collapse, with American officials insisting in June that Kabul could capitulate within six to 12 months after the start of the withdrawal. Amid reports of failed intel forecasts, then-Pentagon spokesman John Kirby acknowledged that security in some parts of Afghanistan was “certainly deteriorating, and that’s of concern.” Washington continued to emphasize “commitment to the people of Afghanistan” and the goal of “ensuring that Afghanistan never again becomes a safe haven for terrorist groups who pose a threat to the US homeland.”,Amid the developments, the Biden administration debated whether to delay the American departure from Bagram Air Base, 35 miles north of Kabul, but eventually opted to go ahead. Army Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, had told the House Armed Services Committee that “it is not necessary for the United States to stay at Bagram for what we’re going to try to do here with Afghanistan.”,Civilians Caught in Crossfire,As the Taliban regained full control, more than 120,000 people, including Afghans and foreigners, were frantically evacuated in a vast airlift operation from Kabul International airport. Thousands of Afghan citizens desperately sought to flee the country in fear of the Islamist group’s return to rule.,Exclusive- A clear video (from other angle) of men falling from C-17.

Many Afghans who collaborated with the occupying US forces and feared retribution from the Islamist group were left behind in the hasty evacuation. Between 100 and 200 Americans remained in Afghanistan, despite wanting to get out.,© AP Photo / Wali SabawoonSmoke rises from a deadly explosion outside the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, Thursday, Aug. 26, 2021.

The bomber was not stopped as Afghans had begun using alternate routes to the gate due to the difficulty of getting through Taliban checkpoints.,In another deadly incident that marred the withdrawal, a botched US drone strike killed 10 civilians - seven of them children - on August 29.,WorldCIA Reportedly Warned US Military of Likely Presence of Children Near Afghan Drone Strike Target 19 September 2021, 08:56 GMT,The US claimed it had been targeting a Daesh operative with a car full of explosives linked to the terrorist group’s affiliate, planning an imminent attack on American forces during the final days of the evacuation. However, the man turned out to be a longtime Afghan aid worker, Zamarai Ahmadi, employed by Nutrition and Education International, a nongovernmental organization focused on food security.,Approximately three weeks after the strike, the military acknowledged its "tragic mistake," yet a subsequent Air Force review around the strike found "no violation of law, including the law of war.",The last US aircraft left Kabul on August 30, 2021.,AfghanistanKirby Under Fire After He 'Takes Issue With Premise' US Handed Afghanistan to 'Terrorist Group'3 August, 09:54 GMT,Joe Biden’s administration faced bipartisan criticism for the Afghan withdrawal.,On August 17, just two days after the fall of Kabul, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan promised the White House would “conduct an extensive hot wash” and “look at every aspect of this from top to bottom.” But it remains unclear when any progress will be made by the congressionally-ordered bipartisan 16-member commission on the 20-year Afghan war, US media reported.,NBC News: Biden Admin Prepping Unified Message on Anniversary of Botched Afghan Withdrawal11 July, 16:09 GMT,The White House is believed to have geared up for congressional investigations into the Afghanistan withdrawal if Republicans win the House or the Senate in November’s midterm elections, according to sources cited in US media reports.,* The Taliban is an organization under UN sanctions over terrorist activities.,**Al-Qaeda is a terrorist group banned in Russia and many other countries.,*** Daesh, also known as ISIS/IS/Islamic State, is a terrorist group banned in Russia.。         田野上空,植保无人机缓缓开展飞防作业;阡陌之间,物联网虫情测报仪静静伫立,不间断捕捉田间虫害动态。天上、地面各类智能装备协同发力,勾勒出泉州智慧植保的鲜活图景。近年来,泉州立足特色农业发展实际,把数字化植保科技送到田间地头,用智能化手段守护农户的丰收期盼。

B |          植保无人机穿梭田间开展飞防作业          在山间稻田布设的物联网虫情测报仪实时回传虫害数据     “以往田间病虫害排查全靠人工下地巡查,防治大多凭经验、靠肉眼判断,盲目施药不仅抬高种植成本、破坏农田生态,若防控时机滞后,极易造成农作物减产。”不少种植户坦言。传统模式下病虫害预警滞后、防控方式粗放,长期制约农业绿色可持续发展和农户稳定增收。想要筑牢粮食安全屏障,亟须推动病虫害监测、防控体系迭代升级。    监测预警先行,高效处置跟进。位于安溪县龙门镇的司雷植保运营管理中心,巨型数字大屏实时汇聚全域农田监测信息,将田间病虫数据、站点实况、环境指标直观呈现。前端“田间哨兵”采集的数据源源不断传回调度中枢,工作人员足不出户,就能研判病虫发生态势、下达防控指令,形成完整数字化指挥链条。在安溪,259台集成智能施药、远程指挥调度功能的现代化植保设备投入使用,构建起“监测—预警—处置”完整闭环。    泉州紧扣“预防为主、综合防治、绿色优先、精准施策”植保工作方针,加快搭建现代化智慧植保体系,推动病虫害防控模式从“被动救灾”向“主动预判”转变。依托散落乡野的智能监测站点,系统研判病虫害发生发展趋势,指导农户科学精准施策,在有效削减农药使用量、践行绿色农业理念的同时,守牢粮食与特色农产品生产安全关口。    当前,全市已建成60个农作物病虫监测点,监测范围覆盖水稻、茶叶、果蔬等泉州主导特色作物。布设于阡陌田间的物联网虫情测报仪等智能设备化身全天候在岗的“田间哨兵”,不间断采集田间病虫动态、田间环境数据,为病虫害科学防控提供数据支撑,打通病虫监测预警落地乡村的“最后一公里”,实现预警预报与田间防治高效衔接。

C |     下一步,泉州将推进南安、永春建设全国农作物病虫疫情监测(省级)分中心,持续优化全域病虫害监测预警布局。放眼泉州广袤田野,智慧植保体系正加速落地生根,数字化手段为万顷良田织密病虫害“防护网”,奋力书写年年丰产、岁岁丰收的新时代“三农”答卷。(融媒体记者 范金林 通讯员 林慧玲 文/图)。
