FBI’s Top Domestic Terrorism Concern: Radical Activists
AP reports: “Violence by environmental and animal rights extremists against U.S. drug makers has increased so much in recent years that it’s currently the FBI’s top domestic terrorism issue, a top agency official says.”
“There has been an increase in the use of incendiary devices as well as explosive devices,” said John Lewis, FBI deputy assistant director in charge of counterterrorism. “There’s a very clear indication that there’s no move to slow down or stop  in fact, just the opposite is true.”The agency has about 150 open cases of arson, bombings and other violent crimes associated with militant environmental and animal rights activists protesting the experimental use of animals in medical research, he said.
Whatever happened to “give peace a chance?”
