Astrazeneca Lawsuit

A US appeals court on Tuesday revived a lawsuit against AstraZeneca, Pfizer and other companies over allegations their contracts with Iraq's health ministry helped fund terrorism that killed Americans during the war in Iraq.

Ranbaxy had filed a lawsuit against the US Food and Drug Administration last week for revoking tentative approvals it gave the company to make generics of Valcyte and Nexium.
