ELF STRIKES TWICE IN MARCH: OPPOSES THE WAR AND ATTACKS URBAN SPRAWL

Through media reports, the ELF Press Office has been made aware of two ELF
actions in the month of March. Although the ELF Press Office has received no
communications about these actions, spraypainted signatures at both action
scenes indicates claims of responsibility by ELF activists. 

March 28th - Montgomery, Alabama
ELF OPPOSES THE WAR MACHINE

Vehicles at Navy Recruiting Headquarters in Montgomery were attacked overnight.
Damages included messages spraypainted on three Navy sedans and two Navy vans.
In addition, a large two-panel truck was set on fire. Damage estimates are not
known at this time.

Messages spraypainted included the slogans "Stop the War," "Leave Iraq" and
"Stop Killing," clearly indicating the reason this ELF cell targeted the
military facility. It was also reported that all cars and vans targeted carried
the ELF signature in spraypaint.

This is the first specifically anti-war action carried out by the ELF in North
America, though there has been at least one direct action attack on a military
recruiting center since the start of the war in Iraq (Edison, NJ - March 18th -
claimed by the Direct Action Front).

March 21st - Superior Township, Michigan
ELF TARGETS URBAN SPRAWL 

A pair of houses under construction were burned in an upscale suburban
development in Superior Township, Michigan. An apparent anti-sprawl action,
grafitti left at the scene claimed the work as that of the ELF.

The two houses were both in late stages of construction. In particular, one of
the homes was only two weeks until completion. Damage totals are estimated at
approximately $400,000 US. These were the third and fourth fires in this
subdividision since September, though the earlier two were not claimed by any
group.

Grafitti left on the back of a garage of a nearby home under construction said
"ELF - NO SPRAWL". This is the second anti-sprawl action claimed by the ELF
since the start of 2003.

Any communication by the ELF to the ELF Press Office will be reported as it is
received.

The Earth Liberation Front is an international underground organization that
uses direct action in the form of economic sabotage to stop the destruction of
the natural environment. Since 1997, the ELF in North America has caused over
$45 million in damages to entities who profit from the destruction of life and
the planet.
