Three people were arrested Friday on suspicion that they plotted to blow up U.S. Forest Service property along with cell phone towers and power generators, the FBI said.
Zachary O. Jenson, 20, of Monroe, Wash., Lauren Weiner, 20, of Philadelphia, and Eric Taylor McDavid, 28, of Foresthill, Calif., were arrested Friday morning, said Karen Ernst of the FBI.
Federal authorities believe all three are members of the Earth Liberation Front, a shadowy collection of environmental activists that has claimed responsibility for dozens of acts of destruction in the past few years.
Matt Mathes, spokesman for the U.S. Forest Service, said he couldn't comment on the investigation, at the FBI's request. The FBI said there was no threat to the public.
The three were being held in jail pending arraignment in federal court on Monday. Ernst said she did not believe they had attorneys.
