USA_KFC_March_09

Aktivist*innen der Animal Liberation Front (ALF) haben am 09.03.2015 ein KFC-Restaurant in Reno (USA) angegriffen. Bei dem Angriff wurden zuerst die Fensterscheiben eingeschlagen und anschließend Molotovcocktails hineingeworfen. Der Angriff fand in den frühen Morgenstunden statt.

 

In den frühen Morgenstunden des 09. März 2015 haben Aktivist*innen der Animal Liberation Front (ALF) ein KFC-Restaurant in Reno, Nevada (USA) angegriffen. Die Fensterscheiben wurden zerstört und durch die zerbrochenen Scheiben wurden Molotovcocktails ins Innere geworfen. 

Bisher liegt dem North American Animal Liberation Press Office kein schriftliches Bekenner*innenschreiben vor, im Außenbereich des Fastfoodrestaurants wurde aber das Kürzel "ALF" hinterlassen.

 

Vor etwa einem Jahr (am 07. Februar 2014) gab es einen Brandanschlag der ALF auf ein KFC-Restaurant in Upper Hutt (Neuseeland). Das Restaurant wurde durch den Anschlag völlig zerstört.

 

KFC ist massiv an der Ermordung und Ausbeutung nichtmenschlicher Tiere beteiligt und deshalb immer wieder Anschlagsziel von Tierbefreiungsaktivist*innen.

 

Nach der Aktion in Reno ermittelt jetzt das FBI mit dem Vorwurf des Terrorismus. Auf der Website http://www.animalliberationfront.com wurde hierzu folgendes berichtet:

"RENO, Nev. (AP) -- The FBI is investigating an apparent attempt to firebomb a fast-food restaurant in Reno because of the possibility it could have been an act of domestic terrorism after the initials of an animal rights group were found scrawled on a drive-thru sign, local fire officials told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
The FBI has confirmed the investigation at a KFC in Reno where a window was broken and a suspected flammable liquid was found inside when employees reported for work Monday morning. The initials spray-painted on the sign, ALF, are those used by the Animal Liberation Front -- a group that long has accused KFC of animal cruelty. The group most recently claimed responsibility for a fire in February 2014 that badly damaged a KFC in Upper Hutt, New Zealand.
FBI spokeswoman Bridget Pappas in Las Vegas confirmed her agency is investigating, but she refused to say why. "We don't have any additional details at this time," Pappas told AP. "And because it is an ongoing investigation, we won't be commenting."
Reno Fire Capt. Tray Palmer said firefighters initially responded to the scene Monday morning. "Because of the 'ALF' that was written on the outside there, we secured the scene and waited for the FBI and the FBI took over that investigation because of the potential for domestic terrorism," Palmer told the AP on Tuesday. He said it appeared that a glass bottle had been thrown through the window containing what appears to be a flammable liquid. "It looks like it is, but until it is tested, we can't be certain," he said, adding that the FBI is supervising the testing and that he had no further comment.
No one was hurt, and the Reno restaurant suffered only minor damage. The writing on the sign had been removed by Tuesday, but the drive-thru remained closed."
