Hundreds Protest Nuclear Missiles

Share via
From Times Wire Reports

Britain announced that its fourth and last Trident nuclear missile submarine had entered service, just hours after police in Scotland arrested more than 375 antinuclear demonstrators who say the weapons are illegal.

About 500 protesters formed a human chain outside Britain’s naval complex at Faslane on the River Clyde. They say the subs’ weapons breach international law because they cannot distinguish between civilian and military targets.
