PETA Bankrolling Terrorist Group ELF

WASHINGTON, -- As the frightening images of a massive 
August 2nd arson are seared into the minds of San Diego 
residents, many are left to wonder just who the Earth 
Liberation Front (ELF) is and who pays its bills. As law 
enforcement begins to look for answers, members of the 
public should know that the shadowy ELF enjoys financial 
backing from at least one tax-exempt, above-ground group
 -- the activists at People for the Ethical Treatment of 
Animals (PETA). A recent federal income tax return filed 
by PETA shows a $1,500 cash payment to the "North American 
Earth Liberation Front." And Rodney Coronado, a convicted 
arsonist who previously received $70,400 from PETA, was in 
San Diego on the day of the University City arson. 

Coronado spent 57 months in federal prison for firebombing 
a Michigan State University research lab. When ABC News's 
John Stossel confronted PETA President Ingrid Newkirk 
earlier this year about her organization's financial 
support of Coronado, she said that he is "a fine young 
man."
