Be afraid, be very afraid. The FBI says the greatest domestic terror threat facing America comes from animal rights activists. Ticket scalpers may be next. Terrorism is a great word. After all, it can be used to describe just about any infraction of the law you like. Just look at Uzbekistan. There, President Islam Karimov decided that demonstrators marching against poverty were terrorists and had his soldiers mow them down with gunfire. But even in the United States, the word has taken on new life. The FBI on Wednesday announced that the nation's top domestic terrorism threat comes from ... drum roll please ... animal rights activists. In other words, crimes often perpetrated by such activists such as arson, rescuing animals from labs and making harassing phone calls now fall under the growing umbrella of "terrorism." "There is nothing else going on in this country over the last several years that is racking up the high number of violent crimes and terrorist actions," FBI deputy assistant director for counterterrorism John Lewis told reporters. He didn't say if the animal rights criminals would be packed off to Afghanistan of Guantanamo to be dealt with appropriately. service.spiegel.de
