IAWM admits secret Shannon direct action plan

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Wednesday February 26, 2003 14:12author by Not IAWM

In a shock announcement today the IAWM admitted that it had secret plans for direct action at Shannon. At least that is the only possible reading that our sources can take from the fact that they are claiming the withdrawal of two troop carrying services (citing security concerns) from Shannon as "a massive victory for the Irish Anti War Movement".

That IWAM claim in full
---
Two more troop cariers announced yesterday that they
are pulling out of Shannon. This leaves just one US
company - American Transair, using Shannon. All these
companies are solely used to carry troops - they have
no civilian passengers. This is a massive victory for
the Irish Anti War Movement!
