Over the past four years, ELF has claimedfiresset in luxury houses in Arizona, a resort and mansion in Colorado, and alumber company office in Oregon. The group faxed a press release abouttheMount Sinai bombings, calling them "an early New Year's gift to LongIsland's environment destroyers." Although the FBI says the group posesamajor domestic terrorist threat, some question whether ELF reallyexists.
