HOUGHTON -- Federal and state law enforcement officials remained on the Michigan Tech University campus late Monday after bombs found at two university buildings were disarmed. Radical environmentalists are considered possible suspects, a county official said.

The bombs, described by university spokesmen as the "real thing," were discovered early Monday morning by campus public safety officers at the U.J. Noblet Forestry Building and the U.S. Forest Service Engineering Laboratory.

"Radical environmentalists are considered possible suspects, a county official said."

I hope they are not the ONLY possible suspects being considered. If memory serves correct, weren't there some post-911 connections to Michigan?

The university had received e-mail threats from Earth Liberation Front

ELF = Terrorist

And you know what the US thinks about terrorism. Eradicate them!

It really would not surprise me if we discovered that it was a group, such as this one mentioned, who was flooding the country with Anthrax. Maybe we should declare war on our universities.

"Radical environmentalists"

Don't they mean "Left-wing extremists"?

[Semper Paratus]

This will get a lot of network play tonight- NOT.

The Bader-Meinhof terror group justified their attacks on the US because of the Vietnam war violating international law. What they are doing is replicating this now, justifying terrorism.

"War on Terror" means a war on ALL terrorists, I think. If these people are found, skrag 'em.

Don't they mean "Left-wing extremists"? You said it man. I doubt that phrase will ever be spoken or written in the news.

Thanks for this post!

Since the left wing extremist mediots tried to blame evil white male conservatives for the Anthrax, I have been posting, the real suspects should be ALF, ELF, PETA and the radical members of Earth First!

The protected home grown terrorists have had a free rein since Jake Reno took its oath to screw and destroy America in 1993. They hate 99.9% of Americans and would love to see us disappear to make their druid world cleaner for their worship of trees, critters, water and the air!

when i was in college we used to say that the only things to do at MTU was to play hockey and kiss polar bears. i guess i had better add bomb making to that list.

Usually when a statement like this is made it means they have good reason to believe it is true. I suspect they may even have credible evidence, such as specific threats made in those emails.

"Don't they mean "Left-wing extremists"?

My initial reaction as well.

Political extremism is not an ambidextrous quality, as percieved by the "lame-stream" media. It only can exist right of center.

Want to start a pool? Who will be first? ABC, FOX, CNN, CBS, NBC, or New York Times?

[Bigg Red]

I'll probqably be sorry I asked -- What does "skrag'em" mean?

[KayEyeDoubleDee]

I have been proposing the possibility of these left-wing, anarchist types being involved in the anthrax scares. As pointed out by their ilk on this this very site, they abhor the media as a manifestation of the EvilBigBusinessCorporateConglomerationMilitaryIndustrialComplex.

On the other hand, they seem to be in favor of public education, oddly enough...

[znix]

FOX, but only by commentators like Bill O'Reilley or Sean Hannity.

[Dakmar]

The media don't see them as extreme because they are on the same page. No one consuders themself an extremeist, so it is difficult to label those with the same views extremist.

Mainstream Media - America's #1 domestic enemy.

Don't they just love those animals and fish and trees and caribou? To h#!! with people. What a mindset!
