WASHINGTON (CNN) — On the 10th anniversary of a $12 million arson fire at a Vail, Colorado, ski resort, the FBI Wednesday increased rewards for help in locating four people who are believed responsible and who fled overseas. The FBI hiked the reward money from $10,000 to $50,000 each for the four suspects, who are thought to be the last members of the eco-terror group known as “The Family,” a cell affiliated with ELF, the Earth Liberation Front. The FBI has led a 10-year multiple-agency criminal investigation dubbed “Operation Backfire” to combat violent elements of the environmental and animal rights groups, which authorities have declared “domestic terrorists.” –From Terry Frieden, CNN Justice Producer |
