Peace Activist VS US Military Aircraft
As Ireland mobilises against war an Irish peace activist was arrested
yesterday after attempting to disarm a US military plane parked at Shannon
Airport in Ireland.
Mary Kelly (audio entered the airport last night and succeeded in damaging
the nose of the plane with a hatchet before she was apprehended. Mary said
that she felt compelled to act after the statement last weekend from the
Irish Transport Minister that he was allowing the transport of US munitions
through Shannon and because the Irish police were not doing their job,
investigating and preventing illegal military use of Shannon, properly. Her
actions, while controversial, have been supported by the Shannon Peace Camp
and by Irish Green Party leader Trevor Sargent and highlight the US
military's use of Shannon airport in the buildup to war on Iraq.
