The attack on the Predator drone would have come from this airbase:

Kut Al Hayy Airbase is located in southern Iraq approximately 230 kilometers Southeast of Baghdad and 32 kilometers Southeast of the city of Kut. The airfield is served by one main runway measuring 9,800 feet. Kut Al Hayy has hardened aircraft shelters at each end of the runway.  http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/iraq/kut-al-hayy-east.htm

Yet the bombing response did not mention the airbase. British and American jets pounded Iraqi command and communication targets in southern Iraq yesterday in retaliation for the shooting down of an American Air Force Predator drone.

The infiltration of Iraq continues.

How do you know it came from this airbase?

Please elaborate on this.
