Saudi Arabia Refuses to Shift its F-15-S Aircraft from Tabuq Airbase Near
Israel
(Israel Army Radio-Hebrew - as reported in the September 3, 2003 Caily Alert
of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs)

Saudi Arabia is refusing to redeploy its advanced F-15-S fighter-bombers
from Tabuq airbase near Israel.

The aircraft were placed at Tabuq on an emergency basis during the recent
Iraq War in order to keep them far away from the theater of operations.

The continued deployment of the F-15-S at Tabuq is a violation of U.S.
assurances given to Israel when the American-made aircraft were originally
sold to Saudi Arabia in 1991.

[IMRA: While US forces are completing now a full withdrawal from Saudi
Arabia, private American contractors will continue to provide support
services for the American made weapons.]
