U.S. REFURBISHES IRAQI AIR BASES IN NORTH ABU DHABI [MENL] -- The United States is close to completing a project to refurbish three abandoned Iraqi air force bases in Kurdistan. Iraqi opposition sources said the effort began nearly a year ago and involves the repair of runways and facilities meant to accommodate U.S. warplanes and transport aircraft for any attack on Baghdad. The sources said the project has been given to Kurdish contractors, with U.S. military personnel supervising the construction and repairs. The sources said the aim of the project is to repair and expand runways so that U.S. C-130 Hercules aircraft can land with American troops and weapons. They said the United States is also completing facilities for air command and control operations in Iraq. The project is said to be part of a U.S. military buildup in and near Iraq. The Kuwait Al Rai Al Aam daily reported that 25,000 U.S. troops are expected to arrive in southern Turkey near the Iraqi border. The newspaper, quoting Iraqi opposition sources, said 7,000 American soldiers have already arrived. NOTE: The above is not the full item.
