Federal agents and local law and fire officials are investigating the possibility that a blaze set at a newly constructed apartment complex was the work of an environmental group that may be responsible for at least two other acts of arson in the Sierra foothills in recent months.
Flames broke out at 3 a.m. Monday at the Pinewoods apartments in Sutter Creek, about 45 miles east of Sacramento. A sprinkler system saved the 100- unit complex from ruin.
Firefighters found seven firebombs at the scene. Graffiti associated with the eco-terrorist group known as Environmental Liberation Front, or ELF, was also found on the site, said Angel Armstrong, a spokeswoman for the FBI in Sacramento.

Any members of ELF should be sent to Gitmo as they are members of a terrorist organization.

So, was a probe even necessary to figure it out?

I just love how stupid these eco-terrorists are. All they do is put more and more pollutants in the air and release chemicals into the ground from ash from all the artificial fibers and paints in the apartments.

Also, they have to cut down even more trees in order to rebuild the destroyed buildings.
Bunch of idiots.

ELF members should be tracked down and summarily executed; no trials and media circuses.

Yes, they are criminals, but that is harsh. They deserve a trial like every other nutbag criminal out there.

With all the attacks that have been going on lately, why didn't they have security guards ?
