TWO peace activists were arrested at the weekend while attempting to deliver a letter to a Suffolk air base stating the opposition to an anticipated return of US nuclear weapons there.

Some 110 nuclear bombs were stored at the Lakenheath base until they were removed in 2008 after strong and constant protests.

But earlier this year, documents surfaced from the United States  Defence Department detailing a contract to build defensive shelters for Lakenheath’s “upcoming nuclear mission.”
