BEIRUT (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 28th August, 2020) Saudi Arabia has redeployed a group of its servicemen from Iraq to the illegal US base in the northeastern Syrian province of Al-Hasakah, according to Syrian media.
Some 20 Saudi servicemen arrived at the base in the town of Ash Shaddadi together with a US military convoy, Al-Watan newspaper reported on late Thursday.
The US troops, jointly with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, are keeping control over a part of northeastern Syria. The US military is concentrated around oil and gas fields in Al-Hasakah and Deir ez-Zor.
