US families to be withdrawn from Izmir...
2002-03-09
  • Families from the United States will leave Izmir for security and safety reasons within 12 months following the notice of the U.S. Secretary of Defense. According to the information given by the Joint Command Southeast (JCSE) Public Information Office, the family members of the U.S. soldiers, sailors, and airmen will phase out in accordance with the decision by the U.S. Secretary of Defense to make this a 12-month unaccompanied tour.
    Link is via Instapundit. Could be in response to internal Turkish realities, but it's more likely it's a security measure in anticipation of action against Iraq.
    I wonder how many US families live in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. They all seem like potential hostages and kidnap victims.
