Target Raytheon offers some background on the protest: 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. Full article from August 2006.
EDO MBM Technologies Ltd are the sole subsidiary of
huge U.S arms conglomerate EDO Corp. They supply
crucial components for Raytheon's Paveway guided bomb
system, widely used in the "Shock and Awe" campaign in
Iraq.
We're in Palestine at the moment and cannot describe how good it is to hear that people are protesting against the bastards that enable Israel to kill countless people.

After 30 hours, the local journalists managed to sniff out a story and include details on the Bristol Evening Posts website.
they are happy but be good if more people could go and shout messages of encouragement!
