(CNN) -- The United States on Monday handed over control of a U.S.-run prison near Bagram Air Base to Afghan authorities. The handover of control of the detention center in Parwan fulfills an agreement between Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Afghan President Hamid Karzai. The detention facility has been a sticking point between U.S. and Afghan authorities, and tensions over the facility re-emerged this month with sharp words from Karzai that the commander of NATO's International Security Assistance Force called "inflammatory." The handover deal was reached Saturday, but came a full year after the initial plan was announced by U.S and Afghan authorities.
