I saw on the news today that 650 (persons?) in American families of US servicemen were being helicoptered (is that a word?) out of Bahrain and onto
ships in the Persian Gulf and all I can find online about it is this article about the US State Dept. warning Americans not to go to Bahrain as there
is credible info about a coming terrorist attack there...
The article u provided the link to says "Bahrain is home to the US Fifth fleet and about 5,000 Americans." so I wonder why the news talked about
only 650 being immediately airlifted?
