Innu protesters miss Dutch minister

Page 2

A recent Native protest against low-level bombing in Labrador did not quite work out according to plan.

A group of about 50 Innu from Shesatsui broke through the gates around Canadian Forces Base Goose Bay and went out on the runway to show visiting Dutch Minister of Defense A.L. ter Beek they were fed up with the low-level bombing runs.

But the group missed the minister about two hours, said base spokesman Lieut. Luc Plourde.

"I don't know what happened," he said. "The Innu apparently had an agenda."
