British Gov’t Accused of Covering Up Failed Nuclear Missile Test

The British government Sunday was accused of covering up a failed test of its nuclear weapons deterrent last year, just weeks before lawmakers voted to renew the system.
British Prime Minister Theresa May refused to say whether she knew about the reported malfunction of an unarmed missile when she urged MPs to support updating the Trident nuclear system.

A senior naval source, claimed that the Trident II D5 missile failed after being launched from a British submarine off the coast of Florida in June.

The cause of the failure is top secret but the source suggested the missile may have veered off in the wrong direction towards the United States.
