      Exclusive: US military to establish presence at Damascus airbase, sources say

      By Tony · Posted

      AMMAN/DAMASCUS, Nov 5 (Reuters) - The United States is preparing to establish a military presence at an airbase in Damascus to help enable a security pact that Washington is brokering between Syria and Israel, six sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. The U.S. plans for the presence in the Syrian capital, which have not previously been reported, would be a sign of Syria's strategic realignment with the U.S. following the fall last year of longtime leader Bashar al-Assad, an ally of Iran.
