Israeli bomb flights scandal in UK Has the United States been using a Scottish airport as a staging post for transporting bombs to Israel? That is the question is at the centre of a scandal putting strains on the special relationship between Britain and the US. British Foreign Minister Margaret Beckett has complained to Washington amid reports that two cargo planes loaded with weapons stopped for refuelling at Glasgow's Prestwick Airport. "I have already let the United States know that this is an issue that appears to be seriously at fault, that we will be making a formal protest if it appears that that is what has happened," she said. "We are still looking into the facts but I have already notified the United States that we are not happy about it." Britain is concerned over whether correct procedures were followed. It is claimed the aircraft were delivering bunker-busting bombs for use in Israel's offensive in Lebanon. The scandal threatens to overshadow British Prime Minister Tony Blair's visit to the US today. Some reports, meanwhile, suggest London will allow more US aircraft carrying arms to Israel to stop over on British soil. euronews.net
