Prestwick, U.K.
British police arrested a dozen people for breaking into a U.S. military plane at Prestwick Airport in Scotland this week. The 12, who climbed into an unlocked U.S. plane, said they were searching for weapons that might be en route to Israel. “We’ve been told that Prestwick is no longer being used by the U.S. military to transport hazardous materials, but we suspect that this is not true,” said anti-war activist David Mackenzie. “Unless citizens take it into their own hands to find out what’s going on, then no one will really know.” Opposition to Israel’s military action in Lebanon is widespread in Britain.
