美國正在波斯灣建設一處秘密的中央情報局空軍基地，試圖擴大美國在該地區的致命無人機戰爭，一份報告說。
The United States is constructing a secret CIA airbase in the Persian Gulf in an attempt to expand Washington's deadly drone war in the region, a report says.
Withholding the exact location of the base at the request of US officials, Associated Press reported on Wednesday that Washington has decided to build the airbase following indications that an anti-American faction may take over Yemen and ban US forces from fighting against al-Qaeda there.
在美國官員的要求下不透露基地的確切位置，美聯社週三報導華盛頓已決定建設空軍基地，隨着有跡象一反美派別可能接管也門，和禁止美軍在那裡對抗基地組織。
According to the report, the White House has also increased the number of CIA officers in Yemen and stepped up the schedule to construct the drone base, from a two-year timetable to a rushed eight months, following months of political deadlock in Yemen.
依照報導，白宮還在也門增加數名中央情報局人員，和加緊計劃興建無人機基地，從為期兩年的時間表至匆忙的八個月，隨著在也門的幾個月政治僵局。
US officials have described the moves as precautionary measures taken to face the possibility of al-Qaeda or other anti-American rebel forces gain control of Yemen.
美國官員描述行動為應對可能面對基地組織和其它反美叛亂部隊的預防措施，以贏取控制也門。
The top US military counterterrorism outfit, the Joint Special Operations Command, and the CIA claim that they have been fighting al-Qaeda elements in the country since 2009 under the permission of the Yemeni government.
The US forces have recently expanded strikes by US armed drones and even war planes.
Officials with Yemen's Defense Ministry have confirmed that the US has been launching drone strikes on a daily basis against the nation in June, with more than 15 confirmed strikes already in the very month.
The deputy governor of Abyan Province said at least 130 people, among them civilians, were killed in US drone attacks.
Analysts believe that Washington is using Yemen's chaos as a cover for the its drone campaign.
