SAN DIEGO - The Earth Liberation Front suggested that a $50 million fire that destroyed an apartment complex under construction in San Diego two weeks ago was targeting "rampant urban development."

The Aug. 3 arson on San Diego's fast-growing northern edge was said to be the costliest action ever by the ELF, an underground group that since 1996 has claimed responsibility for arson attacks against commercial entities that members say threaten or damage the environment.

Bayarea.com has to be excerpted... I can't believe the FBI lets these guys go. If al Qaeda had claimed responsibility they'd have shut down Southern California by now.

What is it with the Palestinians and the ELF?

Is there a two-tier system -- or do these animals have the CLinton-stolen FBI files to get away with it?

I'm no fan of sprawl, but terrorism of this sort is contemptible. I hope that whoever did this ends up looking down the barrel of a major arson rap.

Kill them. Hunt them down, try them in court, then put them up against a wall.

I wonder if any of these dung heap foragers consider how many people suffer bronchial illnesses as a result of the smoke they (ELF) generate?

Now if only they'd turn themselves in to the authorities.

PETA should be having a few visits and assets frozen until we know more of what's going on.

A terrorist is a terrorist. Hunt these POS elves down, tie them to some dead wood from an unkempt forest and burn them at the stake.

Push that Patriot Act into high gear! A fireman hurt or killed working on one of their "noble acts", a worker out of a job - what do the elf-holes care? ARRRRGGGGGHHHH!!

Believe it or not, some lone human on DU brought this up after dozens of posts justifying and even celebrating the burning of the car dealership. He said "the pollution from the smoke you caused is worse than the emissions from the Hummers". They of course were oblivious to reason and they don't even consider it was wrong, as long as terrorism advances 'progressive causes'.

No need to go any further.

When was the last time they built something?

as long as terrorism advances 'progressive causes'.

The chief progressive cause would appear to be attacking capitalists. Where it is burning down apartments, burning down a car dealership, smashing the windows of a Starbucks, or those of a bank.
