Saudi Arabia Airports and Air Bases

News reports today claim the US has established a CIA drone base in Saudi Arabia for attacks within Yemen. Previously, there have been reports of drone bases in Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somalia, Oman and Yemen operating in the US Central Command area of operations.

Some reports may be accurate but more likely these reports are based on disinformation to conceal where the bases are located.

This shows Google Maps airports and air bases in Saudi Arabia. A CIA air base is not likely to be shown by Google which has a history of concealing informaton requested by governments. These locations may be useful to show where the base is not located.

Bing.com/maps, with images by Nokia, often shows sensitive sites censored by Google. However, Google often sites that are out of date or obscured by Bing. A Saudi base search on Bing is underway.

One airport below, at Alkwifriah on the eastern coast of Saudi Arabia, is not designated on Google maps.

The photos are geographically arranged approximately from north to south, with those in the south closest to Yemen.
