And let there be no doubt -- the so-called "animal rights activists" who destroy labs, commit assault against researchers and engage in arson are nothing but terrorists.

Authorities are investigating a fire caused by a device left Tuesday at a house owned by a UCLA professor who conducts animal research -- the second time the house has been targeted in less than four months.

The device was placed Monday morning on the front porch of a Westside house owned by Edythe London, FBI officials in Los Angeles said.

London, a professor of psychiatry and bio-behavioral sciences and of molecular and medical pharmacology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, uses lab monkeys in her research on nicotine addiction.

FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller confirmed that officials with the Joint Terrorism Task Force were investigating the incident.

"It was ignited and caused damage to the property," Eimiller said. "No one was home at the time and nobody was hurt."

this is the third attack on London's home in the past year. We are clearly talking about an orchestrated campaign designed to curtail the advancement of human knowledge and improvement of human lives by neo-Luddites intent upon taking us back to the seventh century. In that they are no different that al-Qaeda terrorists.
