Five peace activists were arrested Monday for entering a naval base in Bangor, Maine as part of a Plowshares action. The activists cut a hole in a fence to access the base. As they walked onto the grounds of the base, they left a trail of blood and hammered on the roadway. They also hammered on the fences and scattered sunflower seeds throughout the base. The base is used to service Trident nuclear missiles carried by US submarines. Arrested at the action were eighty-three-year-old nun Anne Montgomery, Father Steve Kelly, Bill “Bix” Bischel, Susan Crane and Lynne Greenwald.
