THE company behind Britain’s most notorious arms fair is now promoting another weapons jamboree, this time in Bahrain.
Clarion, which organised the Defence Equipment and Security International (DSEI) in London earlier this month, has sent an email urging delegates to attend the Bahrain International Defence and Equipment Conference (BIDEC) at the end of October.
