EAST LANSING -- Federal authorities say four people have been charged in a 1999 arson fire at Michigan State University and were working on behalf of a radical environmental group.
The government said at a Tuesday afternoon news conference that the four named in an indictment were affiliated with the Earth Liberation Front. It's an underground organization that has been listed among the FBI's top domestic terrorism targets.
The Dec. 31, 1999 fire caused $1 million in damage and destroyed the fourth floor of the East Lansing university's historic Agriculture Hall. Shortly after the fire was set, the Earth Liberation Front notified media claiming responsibility for the incident. ELF said Michigan State was targeted because of genetic engineering research related to crops.
Elaine: I can’t believe she’s walking around in that.
Jerry: Just don’t make a scene.
Elaine: Hey, is that real fur?
Jerry: Oh boy.
Eva: It better be or my ex-husband owes me an explanation.
George: Yeah, good night.
Elaine: You don’t care that innocent defenseless animals are being tortured so
that you can look good?
George: Could we talk about this some other time?
Ava: Are you a vegetarian?
Jerry: Here we go.
Another evil right-wing group struck again!
Good thing they weren't charged in an arson fl;ood. That would be confusing.
