A fiery spree of vandalism early Friday is believed to be the work of an environmental group that has expressed resentment over the war in Iraq, Montgomery and federal officials said.
At about 2 a.m. Friday, law enforcement officials discovered that anti-war graffiti was spray painted on three Navy sedans and two Navy vans. A large truck also was set ablaze at the Navy Recruiting Headquarters on Presidents Drive.
The spray-painted automobiles included slogans like "Stop the War," "Leave Iraq" and "Stop Killing."
All the cars and vans displayed the signature "ELF," said Sharon Ormsby, supervisory senior resident FBI agent in Montgomery. She said that refers to Earth Liberation Front, an environmental group.
After the Montgomery Advertiser contacted ELF through its Web site, the responder, identified as the Earth Liberation Front Press Office, claimed responsibility in an e-mail to the newspaper.
Ormsby said the group has carried out similar acts across the nation, but she said the group does not threaten people.
I guess the people whose cars were ruined weren't hurt. :rolleyes:
