January 05, 2003|From Times Wire Reports

In the latest vandalism carried out in the name of the Earth Liberation Front, members of the radical environmental group are claiming responsibility for a fire that destroyed four vehicles at an auto dealership in northwest Pennsylvania.

A posting on the group's Web site said the "attack" targeted sport utility vehicles in a fight "to remove the profit motive from the killing of the natural environment."

The vehicles were torched Wednesday at a dealership in Girard, FBI Special Agent Bob Rudge said. Rudge said the communique appeared authentic because it included information not made public.
