  "Bagpipe" nuclear weapons test was exploded at 3:07 PST Five folks were arrested on trespass charges approximately 1.5 mile inside Nevada Test Site

  Members of the Western Shoshone Nation, Shundahai Network, Alliance of Atomic Veterans, Nevada Desert Experience, Citizens for Alternatives to Nuclear Dumping (CARD), CHAOS, and PARANOIDS camped out at the Nevada Test Site the night before and nonviolent direct actions to oppose the test took place.

  Four staff members of Shundahai Network and a CARD representative were arrested inside the Nevada Test Site at approximately 10:30am in an attempt to blockade the main road leading to the "Control Point" (where the button is pushed).

  Following the test, a vigil was held at the Foley Federal Building to protest this "Hypocritical" test. There was strong public support from people passing by.
