After years of denial, Berlin has acknowledged that the US Air Force is using Ramstein Air Base in Germany to carry out drone attacks in “anti-terrorist” operations, Die Linke (the Left) MP Andrej Hunko told RT.
They crucial role played by the Ramstein base – the largest American military facility on foreign soil – in controversial US drone killings in countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen and Somalia has been an open secret for years.
The German government had until now insisted it had no information about the operations. However, after being confronted by Die Linke on the issue, Chancellor Angela Merkel’s cabinet finally admitted that “planning, monitoring, and evaluation” of drone operations is carried out at the base, according to Hunko.
