#10 Radio Towers Bulldozed by Eco-Terrorists
(Tuesday September 8, 2009)

It appears two radio towers in Everett, Washington were toppled by an eco-terrorist group. A neighbor who called 911 told the dispatcher someone attacked the towers with a bulldozer.

According to breitbart.com: "A sign bearing the letters ELF was found near the towers, said Andy Skotdal, general manager of KRKO Radio in Everett, about 25 miles north of Seattle. The Earth Liberation Front is a loose collection of radical environmentalists that has claimed responsibility for dozens of attacks since the 1990s."

For over 10 years, KRKO has been engaged in litigation including an issue over whether a plan to increase its signal might interfere with a nearby trumpeter swan habitat, according to breitbart.com.
