"EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Federal authorities say four people have been charged in a 1999 arson fire at Michigan State University and were working on behalf of a radical environmental group.
The government said Tuesday that the four named were affiliated with the Earth Liberation Front, an underground organization that has been listed among the FBI's top domestic terrorism targets.
The Dec. 31, 1999, fire caused $1 million in damage and destroyed the fourth floor of the East Lansing university's historic Agriculture Hall.
The Earth Liberation Front claimed responsibility, saying Michigan State was targeted because of genetic engineering research related to crops."
