| Aircraft ordered to Middle East |
| 2001-09-19 |
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on Wednesday ordered more than 100 U.S. bombers, fighters and other warplanes to move toward the Middle East region in the wake of last week's devastating attack on America, defense officials said. The officials, who asked not to be identified, would not say exactly where the aircraft would go. But they told Reuters the planes were expected to begin moving toward bases in or near the Gulf region as early as Thursday. |
