LONDON, ON, Sept. 10 /CNW/ - The law firm of Siskinds LLP today announced that it has filed a proposed securities class action against Redline Communications Group Inc. (TSX: RDL). Also named as defendants are RDL's auditors, KPMG LLP, as well as the principal subsidiary of RDL, Redline Communications, Inc., and certain of RDL's current and former officers and directors, including RDL's Board Chairman, Philippe de Gaspé Beaubien III, RDL's former CEO, Majed Sifri, and RDL's former CFO, Thomas Hearne.
