The United
States has nearly finished setting up an air base in
Kurdish-controlled northern Syria and is proceeding with the
construction of a second base for dual military and civilian use, a
Kurdish website reported on Sunday.
The
Erbil-based news website BasNews, quoting a military source in the
Kurdish-backed Syria Democratic Forces (SDF), said most of the work
on a runway in the oil town of Rmeilan in Hasaka was complete. The
source said a new air base southeast of Kobani, straddling the
Turkish border, is also being constructed.
The source
in the U.S.-backed alliance, which also includes Arab armed groups,
told the news portal that scores of U.S. experts and technicians were
involved in the project.
