Underground groups go after research, property that involve genetic engineering.
There does seem to be a trend towards more actions, says Denny Henke, a spokesperson for GenetiX Alert Press Office, a group that sympathizes with the extremists and monitors their activities. I m guessing that there will be at least twice as many actions this year. The activists say they re willing to destroy property because they feel genetically modified organisms can potentially harm humans. A spokesman for one major group, the Earth Liberation Front, acknowledges it espouses economic sabotage but insists that does not include violence against people. Like many other groups, criminal and legitimate, these activists have also found a useful tool for organizing on the Internet.
