| In 2005 the Building Industry Association of Washington (BIAW) partnered with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to offer a $100,000 reward for the arrest and conviction of Earth Liberation Front (ELF) terrorists burning down homes in Washington State. After the devastating arsons claimed by ELF in Snohomish County, BIAW has renewed the $100,000 reward.
ELF is a radical environmental terrorist organization whose members utilize economic sabotage and property destruction as a means to call attention to suburban “sprawl.” In recent years, the radical terrorists of ELF’s militia have started burning down new homes in subdivisions in Washington State, causing millions of dollars in property damages.
“While ELF used to spike trees and sabotage logging equipment, they’re now burning down homes,” said BIAW President Brad Spears. “ELF’s increasingly brazen attacks on urban targets have BIAW and law enforcement worried that it is only a matter of time before someone is hurt or killed by ELF terrorists,” she added.
The FBI has made capturing ELF terrorists in the Pacific Northwest one of its top priorities. Anyone who has information regarding possible ELF related activities should contact the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force at (206) 622-0460, or e-mail fbise@leo.gov.
