Israel-bound US arms flights set to land in Britain
Two US aircraft carrying weapons bound for Israel were due to stop off in Britain with government approval this weekend, as demonstrators planned to protest Sunday against the controversial flights.
The Boeing 747 jets, carrying "hazardous material" from Texas to Tel Aviv, were due to touch down late Saturday and early Sunday at Glasgow Prestwick Airport in Scotland, a Civil Aviation Authority spokesman said.
He added that they would be on the tarmac for a matter of hours while they were refuelled.
