The Earth Liberation Front is suspected after a nearby banner is found: "If you build it, we will burn it."
"San Diego officials called in the FBI and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms to assist in the investigation after they discovered a banner nearby reading, "If you build it, we will burn it," with the initials "ELF."..The construction site is in northern San Diego's so-called Golden Triangle, one of the region's faster-growing areas. Suspicions that the fire might have been set by an eco-terrorist group rattled city officials and nearby building owners, who said they were beefing up security as a result."
