| Detainees shifted from Jacobabad airbase? | |
| 2004-11-04 | |
JACOBABAD: As the last American troops fly out of Shahbaz air base, the city has been gripped by rumours that some important detainees were being shifted to secret locations. A host of helicopters and planes were seen landing and taking off from the air base at night with their lights off. A white Hercules plane zoomed over the city at such low altitude that citizens feared that it would hit a building. There has been speculation, rubbished by the government, that the US military kept figures arrested in Pakistan at the base. The base commander and commanding officer of Shahbaz air base were not available for comment.

| #7 SPoD- Well, in the mid-80s they had 'Southern Air Transport' in fairly small letters aft of the cockpit...Obviously a private contractor. Mike |
