" PITTSBURGH (Jan. 4) - In the latest in a string of vandalism carried out in
the name of the Earth Liberation Front, members of the radical environmental
group are claiming responsibility for a fire at a Pennsylvania auto
dealership.

A posting on the group's Web site said the ``attack'' targeted SUVs in a
fight ``to remove the profit motive from the killing of the natural
environment.''

Jugs of gasoline were set ablaze under three vehicles, engulfing them and a
nearby car in flames Wednesday at a dealership in Girard, about 110 miles
north of Pittsburgh, FBI Special Agent Bob Rudge said. Three other vehicles
also had jugs of gasoline set under them but failed to ignite.

``I have no reason to doubt that it's an individual who committed the acts on
behalf of the Earth Liberation Front,'' Rudge said."
