Qatar-Iraq-USA, Politics, 8/10/2002

The US continues preparations to equip the al- Adeed air base in Qatar in what seems as preparation for a likely attack against Iraq. Photos taken by satellites recently unveiled that new runways for planes taking off and landing were newly built at length of 13,000 feet.

Military analysists came to the conclusion out of all these relentless efforts the intention of the Pentagon to develop the Qatari base in a way to convert it into a center for leading military operations in case a decision provides for attacking Iraq is taken.
