FBI Predicts Potential Future Attacks Similar to Vandalism at San Jose Military Recruiting Office Source: kcbs Publication date: 2002-10-16
(KCBS) - The FBI has officially opening a domestic terrorism investigation into Monday's arson and vandalism at a military recruiting office in San Jose. Jim Taylor in the KCBS Santa Clara County Bureau says FBI investigators believe there could be more, similar attacks in the future.
Investigators say they reached their conclusions, based in part on the degree of destruction and the spray-painted message on the wall of recruitment offices.
On Monday morning, vandals set fire to army-owned vehicles, broke glass, and scrawled a political message in red on the side of the building.
"For somebody to do this, to me, they're attacking the wrong people, because we're not really a part of the decision making process. We just follow orders," said one recruiter.
"I'm really surprised and tired of the violence," said one neighbor. "I realize we’re probably headed back to the 60's. I went through that once. I don't know that I'm so anxious to go through it again."
A caller claiming responsibility called the attack a pre-emptive strike. The FBI says it's an anti-government attack.
