Protestors once again blockade raytheon plant in Derry

Around 20 anti-war protestors have again targeted the Derry office of international arms manufacturers raytheon.

Beginning at one o'clock today, they have been involved in a sit down protest outside the building. Although there is a police presence, there have been no attempts this time to physically remove the protestors. The protest will end at five o'clock.

The protest takes place on the same day that The Independent published proof that it was a raytheon missile that killed more than 50 people in a marketplace in Baghdad last Friday.

Anyone who wishes to register their opposition with raytheon can contact them on 028 7130 4000 (048 7130 4000, RoI)
