The radical environmental group Earth Liberation Front is claiming responsibility for fires that destroyed two houses near Ann Arbor in March. The slogan ``ELF, no sprawl'' was spray painted on the garage door of a house next to one of those burned March 21 in the Mystic Forest subdivision. On its Web site, the group claims responsibility for the fires, which it says caused $400,000 in damage. The group also takes responsibility for burning luxury homes being built near Philadelphia late last year. A picture of a burning home is featured on the Web site, along with instructions on how to start fires. The group says no one has claimed responsibility for last summer's fires that destroyed two luxury homes under construction, but police said they suspect the ELF. The FBI has said it considers the Earth Liberation Front one of the nation's most prolific domestic terrorist organizations.
ELF seems to be one of the best organized terror groups with excellent internal security. To my knowledge, no one has ever infiltrated them or even come close. I'll be willing to wager that their action group that does the dirty work is only a small handfull of people that have known each other for years. |
