Bomb Convoy stopped by Anti-war activists for a third time

A convoy carrying bombs from RAF Welford in Berkshire to RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire has been stopped by anti-war activists for the third time in recent weeks. The convoy was carrying conventional 'dumb' bombs which will be loaded on to B52s at Fairford and used in carpet bombing raids in Iraq.
The activists managed to lock themselves to their own car blocking the path of the convoy. The convoy was stopped for approximately 30 minutes before the police travelling with the convoy managed to cut 4 of the activists free and arrested them. The 4 activists have been taken in a police cell van travelling with the convoy to RAF Fairford.
