FBI Probes Firebombings of UC Santa Cruz Researchers

HeadlineAug 05, 2008

The FBI is investigating a pair of fires in Santa Cruz, California that targeted two university biologists. Investigators said the devices used in the firebombings are similar to some used in the past by animal rights activists. No one was injured in the attacks, but one professor, David Feldheim, had to flee his home with his wife and children. Some animal rights activists have publicly criticized Feldheim for using mice in lab research on brain formation.
