The Chronicle: UCLA Professor’s House Is Firebombed
The house of a professor at the University of California at Los Angeles was damaged by a firebomb left at the front door early Tuesday in an attack apparently orchestrated by animal-rights extremists, the university said in a news release. No one was at home when the device ignited, charring the door.
The incident was the second attack in four months against Edythe D. London, a professor of psychiatry and of molecular and medical pharmacology who uses primates in her research on nicotine addiction.
A statement issued today by the North American Animal Liberation Press Office said “animal liberationists” were responsible for placing the incendiary device. The press office relays messages from the underground Animal Liberation Front, but is not officially related to the group.
