Aim-listed Montpellier Group, a construction company, said yesterday its 
shareholders had been sent a threatening letter by the Animal Liberation Front,

Montpellier is involved in constructing the new science laboratories at 
Oxford University, in which animals will be used for experiments.

shareholders to sell.
