Verdict Delayed in Trial for Anti-Drone Protest
-----------------------------------------------



As the milestone was reached, a trial began in Nevada for fourteen
antiwar activists who protested the drone attacks at the Creech Air
Force Base last year. The base is one of several homes for the American
military’s aerial drone program in Pakistan and Afghanistan. The
activists were charged with criminal trespassing for entering the base
with a letter describing their opposition to the drone program. In a
blow to prosecutors, the judge in the case agreed Tuesday to delay a
verdict for four months.
