SAN FRANCISCO - The FBI said Friday it has opened a domestic terrorism investigation a day after two small bombs damaged the headquarters of biotechnology company Chiron Corp.
The bombs were detonated between 2:55 a.m. and 4 a.m. Thursday at the company's Emeryville campus. No one was injured and damage was limited to a few broken windows.
Chiron and its executives have been confronted in recent weeks by animal rights activists protesting the company's relationship with a New Jersey lab which tests drugs on animals.
On Friday, an animal rights group calling itself variously the "Animal Liberation Brigade" and the "Revolutionary Cells" claimed responsibility for detonating the bombs. FBI spokeswoman LaRae Quy said the FBI hasn't verified the claims, first posted on the Web site of the animal rights-supporting Biteback Magazine.
"We will definitely take a look a them" as part of the domestic terrorism probe, Quy said.

No room for humans. The left has turned itself into a death-worshipping suicide-cult. It was not always so.
