COMPANY’S HIGH COURT HARASSMENT CLAIM.

The attempt by arms manufacturers EDO MBM to restrict

EDO Corp announced 2.7 million dollars losses this
year and citing losses from legal actions as a
contributing factor. EDO MBM will pay the protesters
costs, expected to be tens of thousands of pounds. Read more >>
