Second protest at weaponry firm

Up to 50 protesters opposed to Israel's bombing of targets in the Lebanon have staged a second demonstration at the offices of an armaments firm.

Campaign group Smash EDO claims that products supplied by EDO MBM Defence Systems in Sussex are used by Israel.

An art installation set up on Wednesday outside the factory gates in Brighton was designed to depict the horrors of war, it was claimed.

EDO, a supplier to the Ministry of Defence, has not yet commented.

Concrete barrels

The installation included campaigners in costume and the sound of bombs dropping.

Smash EDO spokesman, Sam Hayward, said models of severed limbs and dead bodies were placed on the ground to recreate what a bombed scene would look like.

"People are very angry about what's happening in Lebanon," he explained.

On Monday, three protesters chained themselves to concrete barrels outside the gates.
