Turi Salvatore Vaccarro belongs to a christian direct action movement which struggles for nuclear disarment.
He climbed over a fence into a US/NATO air base in the Netherlands, where about 20 nuclear bombs and some F-16s are stationed. He managed to completely destroy the cockpits of 2 jets with his hammer. When arrested he said, he wanted to remember to 60 years - Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

He now waits for his trial.

"A native of North Carolina, John Dear was arrested on December 7, 1993 at the Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro, North Carolina for hammering on an F15 nuclear fighter bomber in an effort to "beat swords in plowshares," according to the biblical vision of the prophet Isaiah."
