The 700 ton ammonium nitrate and fuel oil test being planned illegally by the United States on Western Shoshone lands in Nevada has been cancelled, not postponed and not delayed, but cancelled! – effective yesterday, February 22, 2007. AP story and Federal Press Release follows.
In response, Western Shoshone Defense Project Community Organizer Larson Bill stated: “Hopefully this will be a true beginning to an end of this type of testing and nuclear buildups – for the Western Shoshone and all humanity. We want to thank everyone who helped us in this struggle to defeat Divine Strake. The fight still continues for us on other environmental threats to our land and life – we look forward to everyone’s continued support.”
