| Routine Activities Underway In Iskenderun Port |
| 2003-03-28 |
| Routine activities are underway in the Iskenderun port under the motion on renovation, modernization and reconstruction of bases and ports that the parliament adopted on February 6, 2003. Sources told the A.A on Friday that among the military vehicles which are kept in the port, two Hummer jeeps and two trucks carrying containers left the port early the same day. Meanwhile, six ambulance helicopters which had been unloaded from ''Repubblica Di Rome'' ship that had departed from the port two days ago, are still in the port, and they would sent to Incirlik airbase after their assembling. All quiet in port, it seems. Meanwhile, four more F-15 planes took off from the Incirlik airbase after six F-15s and six F-16s. All planes returned to the base. Sources said that those might be ''training flights''. Training on air-to-ground tactics. Got to keep those skills up, never know when a war might break out. |

| #1 There had been 46 freighters carrying military equipment for 62,000 troops queued up at Iskenderun. 30 freighters transited the Suez. These numbers don't seem to add up as advertised. |
