Bahrain-USA, Politics, 2/19/2002

The British Tabloid "The Sun" issued on Monday said that the US is intending to found a central leadership base in Bahrain in order to supervise the land war to be carried out by some 200,000 US soldiers from Kuwait under the cover of intensive air bombardment operations against Iraq from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Turkey as well as planes carriers in the Gulf.

The paper indicated that the countdown has started to carry out the strikes against Iraq in May.

The paper added that London announced support for the American targets in Iraq in order to topple the regime of the Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, but noted that there is no plan of a nearby attack.
