In Britain, police arrested twenty-six people on Monday during a protest at a nuclear arms site where warheads for Trident submarines are made. Organizers said over 800 people took part in a blockade of the Atomic Weapons Establishment in Aldermaston. Protesters included Nobel Peace Prize winners Jody Williams and Mairead Maguire. The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament said the action was the biggest blockade of a nuclear arms site in Britain in many years.
