MISSILE TESTED IN CANADA

COLD LAKE, Alberta -- COLD LAKE, Alberta -- The United States successfully tested an unarmed cruise missile over northern Canada, despite threats by antinuclear protesters to disrupt the flight.

A Canadian Defense Department spokesman said there was no disruption of the nearly four-hour flight. The environmental group Greenpeace and other groups had threatened to sabotage the test.

Defense Department spokesman Maj. Jan M. Martinsen said there were no protesters sighted at the weapons-testing range where the missile landed. The ground-hugging missile was launched over the Beaufort Sea on a 1,500-mile flight along the Mackenzie River valley.
