Warning of more Bay Area bombings
ANIMAL RIGHTS NOTE THREATENS FIRMS
By Dana Hull

The militant animal rights activists who claimed responsibility for the bombings of two Bay Area businesses in a month have vowed in a defiant communique to double the size of the bombs they will use in future attacks.
Cars in company parking lots could be packed with explosives, they warn. Companies that do business with Huntingdon Life Sciences, a British firm that conducts animal testing, ``are considered legitimate targets'' of violence. Even family members of company workers shouldn't consider themselves safe.
``You never know when your house, your car even, might go boom,'' said the communique, which was posted on some animal rights Web sites four days after the attack on the Pleasanton offices of a health and beauty products company. Later, it stresses that ``we will be non-violent when the (sic) these people are non-violent to the animal nations.''
The note, taunting in tone, escalates the rhetoric from a little-known group that claims that it also planted two bombs at an Emeryville biotech firm in late August. The FBI's domestic terrorism squad is investigating both bombings, and a number of Bay Area companies that contract with Huntingdon are increasing security measures. Some have removed their addresses or names of employees from company Web sites, while others screen incoming calls.
``The last communique threatened violence, and this one promises it,'' said Steven Best, an associate professor of philosophy at the University of Texas-El Paso who studies radical politics.

On the night of September 25th volunteers from the Revolutionary Cells attacked a subsidiary of a notorious HLS client, Yamanouchi. We left an approximately 10lb ammonium nitrate bomb strapped with nails outside of Shaklee Inc, whose CEO is both the CEO for Shaklee and Yamanouchi Consumer Inc. We gave all of the customers the chance, the choice, to withdraw their business from HLS. Now you all will have to reap what you have sown. All customers and their families are considered legitimate targets.
Hey Sean Lance, and the rest of the Chiron team, how are you sleeping? You never know when your house, your car even, might go boom. Who knows, that new car in the parking lot may be packed with explosives. Or maybe it will be a shot in the dark.
We have given all of the collaborators a chance to withdraw from their relations from HLS. We will now be doubling the size of every device we make. Today it is 10lbs, tomorrow 20....until your buildings are nothing more than rubble. It is time for this war to truely have two sides. No more will all of the killing be done by the oppressors, now the oppressed will strike back. We will be non-violent when the these people are non-violent to the animal nations.
In memory of all of those fallen before us in the war for liberation: Jill Phipps (animal activist), Barry Horne (ALF), Olaia Kastresana (ETA), Arkaitz Otazua (ETA), Angayarkanni (LTTE), Babu (LTTE), Bobby Sands (IRA), Patsy O'Hara (INLA), Carlos Guiliani (anti-globilization martyr), Lee Kyung-hae (farmer and anti-globablization victim), and many more on numerous other fronts. We won't forget you, we won't let your deaths be in vain.

Bringing the bomb and the bullet back into amerikan politics, Revolutionary Cells --animal liberation brigade
The revolutionary cells exists as a front group for militants across the liberationary movement spectrum. We are anarchists, communists, anti-racists, animal liberationists, earth liberationists, luddites, feminists, queer liberationists, and many more things across various other fronts. Where ever there is oppression there are those unwilling to idly stand by and let it occur, and those people make up the nucleus of the revolutionary cells.
Who are the revolutionary cells? It is an anti-gmo activist destroying a gmo crop, it is a basque youth driving a car packed with explosives destined for a spanish politician, it is a queer bashing back, a rape victim putting a bullet in the rapist, a corsican nationalist planting a bomb at a french bank, it is a cincinatti riot in response to police brutality, an animal liberationist shooting a vivisector dead on his doorstep. In short it is the spirit of resistance realized. It is moving from politics to praxis.
Anyone who takes part in the war against the oppressive heirarchies in this world can consider themselves a member of the Revolutionary Cells.
Revolutionary Cells Guidelines:
1. To take strategic direct action (be it non-violent or not) against the oppressive institutions that permeate the world.
2. Make every effort to minimize non-target casualties, be they human or non-human.
3. Respect a diversity of tactics, whether they be non-violent or not.
4. Any underground activist fighting for the liberation of the humyn, earth or animal nations may consider themselves a Revolutionary Cells volunteer.
