From Times Wire Reports
The United States will take over a Romanian air base near the Black Sea, with as many as 1,500 American troops expected to begin training there starting in April, officials said.
The U.S. will spend $34 million to upgrade the Mihail Kogalniceanu base, officials said.
Human Rights Watch has singled out the base as a possible location of a clandestine CIA jail, but Romania has repeatedly denied that.
