Hi!

Just pivked this up from NTB (A news agency):

The CIA will operate two RPVs out of Albania for survailance of military
targets in the former Yugoslavia.  They are claiming to have information =
from
american officials.

This story is to be printed in Aviation Week and Space Technology next week.
In the story there is a claim that the albanian goverment have agreed with
the operation.  Italy was asked but refused to let the planes operate from
theire bases.

Someone in the "US defence", probably DoD, have confirmed the story, but CIA
denies it.

The actual plane is the GNAT 750, and it is said to "operate at 7.600m in
24hours".

There is also a note about the construction of a satelitt station in =
Albania.

Nothing about which base in Albania.


This is a rater free transcript, and just for discussion.
The orginal note was from ntb@usit.uio.no (Norsk Telegrambyr=E5)
and dated 29 Jan 1994 01:47:29 +0100

John

Flame me for the lang. as the original note is in norwegian.

Ahh one more thing, this newsreport is quoting Reuter and AP (Asossiated
Press?) so if anyone have acess to them you might find more.
