WEST COVINA, Calif., Aug. 22 (UPI) -- A pre-dawn fire that may be linked to radical environmental activists caused serious damage to a Los Angeles-area auto dealership Friday.

Firefighters battling the two-alarm blaze at West Covina Dodge found a number of Hummers and sport-utility vehicles had been vandalized with graffiti indicating the involvement of the Earth Liberation Front.

Also known as ELF, the shadowy group has been blamed for a number of fires at construction sites in the West. The graffiti found Friday skewered SUVs as gas- guzzling sources of air pollution.

West Covina Fire Chief Richard Greene told reporters federal agents were joining the investigation. He said the preliminary investigation had ruled out any accidental cause for the smoky blaze.

I heard a short while ago that this fire shut down the entire San Bernardino freeway, and that it's a huge mess out there. Glad I'm not driving today.

...and when property owners install surveillance cameras, and the police up their vigilence, the Left will scream about civil liberties.
