Bush Demands Aircraft Carrier for G8 Summit
The Scotsman
Key points
• America has demanded heavy US military presence during G8 summit
• Advisors want to impose "30-minute total travel exclusion periods"
• Disruption of road, rail and air services throughout country expected
An aircraft carrier packed with hundreds of US marines will be anchored off the west coast of Scotland during the G8 summit, according to security sources.
The assault ship, also laden with helicopters, is expected to be dispatched as the United States armed forces prepare their own massive security operation to protect the president, George Bush, during the Gleneagles summit in July.
A fleet of Galaxy C-5 planes, carrying armoured limousines and the helicopters that will take Bush and his entourage to the venue, is expected to touch down at Prestwick airport.
