BBC NEWS | Business | Reed criticised for 'arms link': "Medical journal The Lancet has launched a scathing attack on its owner, Reed Elsevier, for helping to organise Europe's largest arms fair.
Reed is helping to stage the Defence Systems and Equipment International show starting in London on Tuesday.
The journal said it was 'deeply concerned' by the company's 'connection to the arms trade'.
But Reed said all exhibitors were strictly regulated and some technology on display was designed for civil use.
The forthcoming event - staged in conjunction with the Ministry of Defence - showcases new technology for both military and civil use.
Exhibitors include defence companies BAE Systems, EADS and Lockheed Martin. "
