U.S. Largest Overseas NSA Spy Base

Leaks by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden have revealed how his former employer used the US spy base at Menwith Hill in Yorkshire, England to conduct ‘kill or capture’ missions in its global shadow war.

The new files published by The Intercept partly lay to rest speculation by journalists and campaigners over what really goes on at the US base.

They show that secretive NSA kill-capture operations in the Middle East have been developed and initiated from inside the base’s heavily guarded perimeter wire.
