"Ecoterrorists Torch SUVs
Dozens of sport utility vehicles were set on fire in early-morning raids in suburban Los Angeles, according to press reports.
About 20 vehicles, mostly Hummers, were torched at a Chevrolet dealership in West Covina and other vehicles were badly damaged. SUVs at a Mercedes-Benz dealership in Arcadia and Ford and Mitsubishi dealerships in Duarte also were vandalized. And several SUVs parked on residential streets, including one in Monrovia, where set ablaze in front of a private home. Other SUVs were sprayed with graffiti.
The press office of the radical Earth Liberation Front issued an unsigned e-mail calling the incidents "ELF actions," the Associated Press reported.
Local police and agents from the FBI and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are investigating the incidents.
"Since they're considered an extremist movement, by definition it falls under possible domestic terrorism violation," an FBI spokeswoman said.
Damage estimates put the cost of the vandalism at $2.5 million.
Authorities are seeking suspects recorded by a surveillance videotape, which showed two white men, possibly in their late teens, spray-painting graffiti on vehicles at a car dealership.
