[...] Some members of parliament said that they had no idea that the data collected at Thule was being passed on to intelligence agencies. Far-left party Enhedslisten and #Amnesty International #Denmark have called for an investigation.

Discussions over the US presence became heated in 1968 when a US B-52 bomber crashed at #Thule with four nuclear bombs in its cargo.
