FBI: Eco-Terrorism Remains No. 1 Domestic Terror Threat

The eco-freaks are bad news in their way, and they are very destructive. For the FBI, finding these guys would be a huge bonus! Finding an AQ terrorist would probably be even nicer, but they are already in the headlines. I wonder what the prices are on the heads of the eco-terrorists compared to the known prices on the heads of the Islamic terrorists?

FOXNews.com - FBI: Eco-Terrorism Remains No. 1 Domestic Terror Threat - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News: "For nearly seven years, the nation has turned its terror focus on Al Qaeda and the hunt for Usama bin Laden. But there is a domestic terror threat that federal officials still consider priority No. 1 — eco-terrorism.

The torching of luxury homes in the swank Seattle suburb of Woodinville earlier this month served as a reminder that the decades-long war with militant environmentalists on American soil has not ended.

'It remains what we would probably consider the No. 1 domestic terrorism threat, because they have successfully continued to conduct different types of attacks in and around the country,' said FBI Special Agent Richard Kolko.

The FBI defines eco-terrorism 'as the use or threatened use of violence of a criminal nature against innocent victims or property by an environmentally oriented, subnational group for environmental-political reasons, or aimed at an audience beyond the target, often of a symbolic nature.'"
