BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) Britain's defense secretary says NATO members Romania and Britain will not be intimidated by threats against members of the military alliance.
Russia's ambassador to Denmark, Mikhail Vanin, said this weekend that Danish warships could become targets for Russian nuclear missiles if the Danes join the alliance's missile defense system. Bases are planned in the southern Romanian town of Deveselu and in Poland.

He said Britain would send one of its newest destroyers to the Black Sea port of Constanta in the fall. "We share Romania's concern about threats to security on the Black Sea region."
