Peace campaigners target RAF Lakenheath in protest against US nuclear bombs
CND activists block the main gates of USAF Lakenheath
PEACE campaigners are set to target US-controlled RAF Lakenheath airbase in Suffolk tomorrow in protest against the return of US nuclear warheads to Britain.
Among the protesters will be women who took part in the 19-year blockade of RAF Greenham Common in Berkshire from 1981, demanding — and achieving — the removal of US cruise missiles from the base.
The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament says the nominally. named RAF Lakenheath is being prepared for storing a US nuclear arsenal.
