France detains Green peace boat


CHERBOURG, Oct 3: French police detained a Green peace boat and two activists on Sunday ahead of the arrival of a US shipment of bomb-grade plutonium, the environmental pressure group said.

The shipment is due to arrive in France late on Monday. Dozens of activists have since Saturday awaited the arrival of the two British-registered ships, escorted by armed commandos, at the port of Cherbourg in northern France.

Activists question the wisdom of transporting such security-sensitive cargo at a time of heightened risk of terror attacks globally. -AFP
