FBI: Eco-Terrorism Remains No. 1 Domestic Terror Threat

[bijou]

For nearly seven years, the nation has turned its terror focus on Al Qaeda and the hunt for Usama bin Laden. But there is a domestic terror threat that federal officials still consider priority No. 1 — eco-terrorism.

The torching of luxury homes in the swank Seattle suburb of Woodinville earlier this month served as a reminder that the decades-long war with militant environmentalists on American soil has not ended.

"It remains what we would probably consider the No. 1 domestic terrorism threat, because they have successfully continued to conduct different types of attacks in and around the country," said FBI Special Agent Richard Kolko.

The FBI defines eco-terrorism "as the use or threatened use of violence of a criminal nature against innocent victims or property by an environmentally oriented, subnational group for environmental-political reasons, or aimed at an audience beyond the target, often of a symbolic nature."

For years, officials have battled against members of shadowy groups such as the Earth Liberation Front and its brother-in-arms, the Animal Liberation Front. Law enforcement has made strides prosecuting cells, but it's been unable to end the arsons that have plagued developments encroaching on rural lands in the West.

Some of the largest eco-terrorist organizations.

1. SELC................Southern Environment Law Center
2. AS....................Audubon Society
3. DoW................Defenders of Wildlife


While not firebombing or burnings things down. These three terrorist after asking to be brought to the table to work out some problems at the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and Recreation Area...........went and filed a lawsuit...........they said they wouldn't file a lawsuit if allowed at the table.................I guess I forgot about the primitives...........they lie, they lie all the time.

Now it seems that these same groups are also going to bring a lawsuit to Cape Lookout National Seashore and Recreation Area when Judge Terrance Bowles makes his ruling.

What's it all for..............................the most evil spawn of Satan



Funny thing is.....................21 of these evil incarnations have been killed by vehicles. 20 of them were the NPS and the USFW.
