The Obama administration is reportedly building a ring of secret drone bases in the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula from which to target alleged al-Qaeda militants in Somalia and Yemen. According to the Washington Post, bases are being established in both Ethiopia and another in the Seychelles islands in the Indian Ocean. Drone flights over Somalia and Yemen have been staged from bases in Djibouti. The CIA is said to be building an airstrip strictly for Yemen operations somewhere in the Arabian Peninsula.
