Eco-Terrorist Group Claims Responsibility for Bombs
Miervatia, Mikitivity
Vandals from an eco-terror group that calls itself Das Eco Front (DEF) have claimed responsibility for two attempted arsons at construction sites on the outskirts of Miervatia City in recent weeks.
The claim, made in a two-page, single-spaced letter received by Miervatia Today and three other local newspapers, described the devices left at the sites in some detail and purportedly explains why the devices did not detonate.
"Though our fires failed, the actions (were) not completely unsuccessful," the letter said, adding that more incidents will be forthcoming.
"We are setting a new precedent, where there will be at least one or more actions every few weeks," the letter said.
The MMI (Mikitivity Ministry of Intelligence) said last week it believed the incidents were the work of eco-terrorists, and although the agency would not say much about the letters Wednesday a spokeswoman said an area counter terrorism task force is investigating.
Eco-terrorism is considered one of the most serious crimes the MMI investigates, and experts say such attacks have caused as much as 700 million Spice Melange in damages over the last ten years.
Officials also have warned that such attacks appear to have increased in recent years, and that the attacks have become much more brazen, including the targeting of homes and commuter rail lines.
