China Daily | Updated: 2008-06-27 07:41

The United States has withdrawn its nuclear weapons from Britain after more than 50 years, a watchdog said in a report yesterday.

The Federation of American Scientists, which studies the US nuclear weapons arsenal, said Washington has removed its nuclear bombs from the Royal Air Force base at Lakenheath, Suffolk where they had been stationed since 1954.

The withdrawal has not been announced officially, but was confirmed by several sources, the report's author, nuclear weapons expert Hans Kristensen, wrote.
