Animal rights group targeted UCLA professor

The AP reports:
The Animal Liberation Front tried to attack the Bel-Air home of a UCLA primate researcher with a "Molotov cocktail," but left it at the wrong house, an FBI official said.

The ALF said in a statement it had left a bottle filled with a flammable liquid on the porch of Lynn Fairbanks' home in Bel-Air on June 30.

FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said the bottle had actually been left at the home of a 70-year-old neighbor.

"According to arson investigators, they believe that, had the device functioned properly, the inhabitants would have had a very difficult time escaping," she said.

On its Web site, the ALF claimed Fairbanks was keeping monkeys to study "psychological, psychiatric and social problems such as Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, substance abuse, criminality and violence."

University officials said that description misrepresented Fairbanks' work.
These terrorists like animals more than humans.You see their lack of respect for property rights.
