11 Indicted in Latest Round of FBI Environmental Witch Hunt
Indictments in Environment and Animal Liberation Cases Include Recent Arrestees
On Friday, January 20th, the Justice Department announced that 11
individuals were being charged in a 65 count indictment handed down by a
Eugene, Oregon grand jury. The
indictment charged the individuals with a series of arsons, sabotage and
vandalism that were claimed by the Earth Liberation Front and the Animal
Liberation Front, between 1996 and 2001. The FBI has called these actions terrorism. The indictment includes further charges against some recent arrestees.
The government says that this alleged cell, which supposedly called itself "the family," was involved in more than 15 incidents across five states, included arsons or attempted arsons at U.S. Forest Service Ranger Stations, animal holding facilities, lumber companies and timber farms, the Vail Ski Resort, and the Eugene, Oregon Police Department.
