Umm Al Melh Border Guards Airport
Umm Al Melh Border Guards Airport ((アラビア語:مطار سلاح الحدود أم الملح)) is a Saudi government air base located in southwestern Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia.
The air base was commissioned by the Ministry of the Interior in November 2010 as a base of operations for the Border Guards to patrol the country's southern border. It is part of a proposed network of air bases that would serve as transport, logistical support and evacuation centers for the Border Guards.〔 The base is under construction in the vast Rub' al Khali desert about from the Yemeni border by the Abdullah A. M. Al-Khodari Sons Company. The first phase of the project was completed for SR 86.3 million.〔 The second phase was commissioned in August 2011 at a cost of SR 120.7 million.
In February 2013, ''Wired'' magazine suggested the air base may be a secret U.S. drone base used to carry out drone strikes on targets in Yemen, including the killing of Anwar al-Awlaki in 2011. Although ''Wired'' was unable to confirm the claim, both ''Foreign Policy'' and ''Haaretz'' reported that it was "almost certainly" the secret base. The existence of a Central Intelligence Agency-run drone base in southern Saudi Arabia had been revealed by U.S newspapers two days earlier.〔The first widely noted revelation of the base was on February 5, 2013. However, two different news sources had inadvertently reported the existence of a U.S. drone base in Saudi Arabia in 2012, in one instance violating an unofficial nondisclosure agreement between U.S. media outlets and the Central Intelligence Agency about the location of the base.
