	Military Medicine: Ecoterrorism and nontraditional military threats (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The menace facing U.S. service personnel from ecoterrorism and other nontraditional threats may increase as military deployments in war and peace increase, the availability of devastating biological, chemical, and radioactive agents increases, and adversaries or terrorist groups become more inclined to use them.
		The major ecological threats to the military are from ecoterrorism and nontraditional threats.
		Ecoterrorism may be defined as the use of force or threat directed at the environment or ecosystem to terrorize or frighten people.

	Eco-terrorism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As a pejorative term, "eco-terrorism" has also been used to describe legally-protected forms of nonviolent protest by environmentalists, which is generally seen as an attempt to associate this activity with other more contentious acts that can legitimately be labeled as eco-terrorism.
		The term is believed to have been coined by Ron Arnold, an executive at the Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise and author of Ecoterror: The Violent Agenda to Save Nature.
		While there is no consensus on the exact definition of "terrorism", the word is typically used to describe politically motivated acts of violence, threatened use of violence or the destruction of property with the intention to intimidate governments or civilians.

		WEST JORDAN, Utah – Investigators dug Tuesday through the charred remains of a lumber yard fire to determine whether ecoterrorism was to blame for the arson that caused $1.5 million in damage.
		The initials are "not an indication it is a form of ecoterrorism, although we do acknowledge that group has used that tagging in the past," said Tom Mangan, a spokesman for the ATF in Phoenix.
		The most serious incident to date in Utah was the 1997 bombing of a fur breeders cooperative in nearby Sandy, a suburb of Salt Lake City, that caused $1 million in damage.

	Ecoterrorism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Ecoterrorism, or the eco-terrorist movement, first appeared in England during the 1970s and spread to the United States in the 1980s.
		Unfortunately, there are few criminological theories of ecoterrorism developed yet, and it may very well be some time before all the necessary research is completed.
		With ecoterrorism, however, and I should note that there is little evidence to prove it, suspicion has it that the rash of forest fires in recent years may have been caused by ANTI-ENVIRONMENTALISTS who are "fed up" with all the pro-environmental, tree-hugging nonsense (as they see it).

		Greenpeace's tactics involve all kinds of "stunt" protests to attract attention to particular environmental causes, often spectacular raids of organizations of interest such as whaling vessels, nuclear plants, and the like.
		These protests have often been called ecoterrorism by their targets, although Greenpeace normally eschews violence.
		Such well-organised and often well-funded protests, with the use of one of Greenpeace's ships, fleet of inflatable boats, and the like, and the arrangement of extensive media coverage for the carefully-designed telegenic images that result), have attracted large amounts of attention to Greenpeace's environmental causes.

	Fighting 'ecoterrorism' (phillyBurbs.com) \| Intelligencer
		House Bill 213 would define ecoterrorism as an "offense against property" with the intent to "intimidate or coerce" an individual from an activity involving animals or a natural resource, or prevent the individual from participating or using that activity.
		If ecoterrorism is established as criminal intent, low-level summary offenses would be classified as third-degree misdemeanors, and other charges would be similarly notched up by one degree.
		She questioned evidence that ecoterrorism is indeed a widespread problem in Pennsylvania, and said the state already has laws on the books to prosecute arson, burglary and other crimes that radical groups commit.

		Influenced to varying degrees by their English predecessors and by segments of the anarchist movement, ecoterrorists operate through autonomous cells, are unconstrained by geographic boundaries and are very difficult to infiltrate and stop.
		Although he was not charged in the investigation, the increased scrutiny may have led Rosebraugh and Pickering to resign their ELF positions in September 2001.
		Ecoterror cells remain extremely difficult to identify and infiltrate, and it is unlikely that this rapidly growing movement will disappear soon.

		(Though all parties involved with the case agreed not to ask about motive, the arson was widely considered an act of ecoterrorism.) Similarly, a man recently arrested in Phoenix for torching homes around a nature preserve lived on the edge of that preserve himself.
		This is a big problem, because, despite its cute acronym, the ELF has pioneered a form of ecoterrorism dramatically more dangerous than mere monkeywrenching.
