Two more US arms planes given permission to refuel in Britain
British Prime Minister Tony Blair has given the green light for Washington to use British airports to refuel planes shipping bombs and missiles to Israel.
His Foreign Secretary, Margaret Beckett, had earlier embarrassed him by threatening to lodge a formal protest over two chartered Airbus A310 cargo planes use of Glasgow Prestwick Airport as a refuelling stop.
She claims that the Americans failed to follow proper procedures during the shipment of bombs.
