Quote:
A Russian military bomber came close to breaching northern Canadian airspace just prior to U.S. President Barack Obama's visit here last week, Defence Minister Peter MacKay said today.
Norad fighters immediately intercepted it and turned it away, he said. CF-18s took off from Cold Lake, Alta.
The incident took place about 24 hours before Mr. Obama journeyed to Canada for his first foreign visit.
Mr. MacKay said the flight is one of an increasing number of such stunts by the Russian military planes in the North.
