At last, confirmation that many people are killed and injured, and homes and communities are destroyed (One in three Saudi raids on Yemen hit civilian sites, 17 September). However, there is no mention of the US bases in the UK which play a crucial role in this criminal and deadly work, such as NSA Menwith Hill, USAF Croughton and other RAF bases. They are a vital part of the NSA’s sprawling global surveillance network. There needs to be a thorough investigation into what these bases are involved in, instead of cover stories from the US and UK governments, the MoD and the Ministry of Defence police who are paid for by the US authorities. CAAB has been calling for this for many years.
