This FBI counterterrorism file concerns the Earth Liberation Front, an underground environmental extremist movement associated with arson, sabotage, and vandalism claims. A November 12, 2003 Portland communication summarizes a field threat assessment prepared for Operation Foxfire, while a December 4, 2003 Los Angeles communication reviews the group's public 'Diary of Actions' website. The records compile 66 ELF-claimed actions from 1996 through October 2003, including attacks directed at housing developments, SUV dealerships, logging and biotechnology targets, construction sites, and government facilities. The compilation describes claimed incidents across the United States and notes that website claims did not represent all suspected ELF-related crimes investigated by the FBI.
