Radical Group Linked to Arson of Luxury Homes
From Times Wire Reports
Members of a radical environmental group that opposes urban sprawl have claimed responsibility for fires at four luxury homes being built in Detroit’s outer suburbs.
The claim by the Earth Liberation Front was posted on the group’s Web site. FBI agent Willie Hulon said he believes the group set the blazes in Washtenaw County in March and in Macomb County June 4.
The group has claimed responsibility for similar acts, including the 1999 destruction of a genetic engineering project at Michigan State University.
