AR-News: (US) Eco-terrorists top FBI's list - Attacks intensify since fires 5 years ago at Vail

[Animalconcerns]

[from Denver Post - includes map of "hits"]

When fires broke out high on Vail Mountain five years ago, a shadowy group
calling itself the Earth Liberation Front quickly took responsibility.
...
Now, five years later and halfway through the statute of limitations for
arson, the Vail fires remain an unsolved crime. And they no longer are
considered the worst of their kind. This year alone, the ELF has claimed
responsibility for arson attacks that caused more than $50 million in
destruction in California.

Elsewhere, smaller acts of politically motivated vandalism, arson and
animal releases across the country are on the rise.

With the accumulated toll of the attacks now estimated at more than $100
million, environmental extremists have become the top priority for FBI
domestic terrorism squads across the country.
