Economist: Military Movements Suggest Possible Attacks Within 72 Hours

What happened: The Economist reports an unusually large concentration of tanker aircraft at Al Udeid airbase and the deployment of combat search-and-rescue aircraft and units east of the area, and says U.S. reconnaissance and electronic-warfare planes are also active in the region. The report cites military analysts who interpret this force posture as indicating readiness for a possible start of attacks within the next 72 hours.
