Breaking News: Explosions Rock Emeryville Bio-Tech Firm.

The Chiron building on Hollis St in Emeryville was the target of two or three outdoor bombs last night. It is believed these were the work of the Earth Liberation Front (although I haven’t seen any official claims of responsibility). These are the same people who have been torching housing developments encroaching on the desert and setting fire to SUV dealerships in Southern California.

I went to their web site (so I’m sure my IP is logged in some DHS database now) and the majority of items on their front page are either links to news articles about what they’ve done, or instructions for making a bomb. There is almost nothing on there about what their beliefs are or why they are doing this. Yet another group of eco-terrorists who couldn’t tell you the real environmental details and care less for their stated cause than for the publicity they get out of it.

UPDATE: Turns out this was committed by an arm of the Animal Liberation Front, not the Earth Liberation Front. Sweet, an eco-terrorist group named after an 80s TV puppet!
