US Bombers land in Britain

American US spy planes landed today at RAF Fairford, near Oxford. Peace activists have set up camp expecting B52 Bombers to arrive tonight around midnight.

Police have dismantled protesters tents but the activists are standing firm to witness the arrival of Bush’s bombers.

The B2 nuclear capability stealth bombers are also expected at the base.

Why protest at Fairford – USAF Fairford is the biggest bomber base in Europe and the only launch pad in the UK for direct air raids on Iraq. Fairford and Diago Garcia are the nearest B-2 Stealth bomber bases to Iraq and the B-2 is expected to play a central role in the US
