Protest demo at Raytheon offices,

bristol | protests | announcement Monday August 07, 2006 11:23 by Target Raytheon

Raytheon Systems Inc is the worlds 3rd biggest arms company and supplies munitions and electronics to Israel

Consignments of Raytheon GBU 'bunker buster' bombs have recently been transported via UK airports to Israel. These horrific weapons can kill literally hundreds of people with one strike into an urban area. Israel has already been using these in densely populated areas of the Lebanon.

Most ‘bunker busters’ have a devastatingly high explosive power making them the most deadly of ‘conventional weapons’. Some use depleted uranium, leaving toxic pollutants, which cause illness and death for years.

Raytheon is not simply off in some far-flung corner of the world far from any criticism or action. They are acting, now, at their office in Bristol. Raytheon’s presence here therefore implicates Bristol indirectly in Israeli war crimes.

Please join the early morning rush hour demo on THURSDAY the 10TH of AUGUST, 8AM at the roundabout on Coldharbour Lane, Frenchay, opposite the main entrances to both UWE and Bristol Business Park.

Bring banners, noise, and your anger.
