MARCH 27, 1999
Incendiary Bombing: Franklin Township, New Jersey
(One act of Domestic Terrorism)
On March 27, 1999, two vehicles belonging to the Big Apple Circus were set ablaze with incendiary devices, causing an estimated seventy thousand dollars in damage. An additional incendiary device that appeared to have malfunctioned was found in the cab of a backhoe that was parked behind the destroyed vehicles. The incendiaries used in the attack were found to be consistent with devices described in Internet publications of the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), an extremist animal rights group, and with devices used in two previous arson attacks in New Jersey against fur companies. Via its Internet website, ALF claimed responsibility for the attack in Franklin Township, stating that it was committed in solidarity with five activists arrested in Seattle (the "Seattle 5") while releasing hundreds of mink from a fur farm.
