New Camp to Serve as Base for Protest

Protesters will set up a camp outside the U.S. Navy base on the outlying Puerto Rican island of Vieques to allow more people to demonstrate against the base’s bombing training, organizers said.

The incident has drawn Puerto Ricans together in a campaign to end the bombing.
