American interceptor missiles are to be stationed on British soil after Tony Blair agreed a secret deal with the United States, it has been reported



The Independent on Sunday says Downing Street has agreed in principle to a Pentagon request to base missiles at RAF Fylingdales in North Yorkshire.

The weapons would allow the US to destroy incoming missiles and form part of the Son of Star Wars defence system.
