Mr. Schiff: It’s
more than six-years in prison for
a man who admitted helping set fires
in 2001 in Oregon ...
Ms. Hughes: "The
first happened on April
15, 2001 ,
which just happened to be Easter
morning. It happened at a local
sand and gravel company in Portland .
And in that case they used firebombs
to set fire to the cement trucks
at the company.”
Mr. Schiff: That’s
Beth Ann Hughes at the FBI’s
office in Portland ...
Ms. Hughes: "The
second incident happened on June
1, 2001 . In that case they
used firebombs, homemade explosives
that they used to set fire to a
number of logging trucks that were
parked in the parking lot of the
company at that point.”
Mr. Schiff: Hughes says
there were people upset with some
work going on in the area...
Ms. Hughes: "It
could have been that those trucks
were targeted because of the concern
for a logging operation that was
supposed to happen nearby.”
Mr. Schiff: Four suspects.
Three sentenced for 41 months and
one guy, later caught in Canada,
got 67 months in federal prison.
I’m Neal Schiff of the Bureau
and that's the FBI's Closed Case
of the Week."
