French Monsanto research site destroyed by fire in arson attack

While Monsanto and their entourage call this a arson attack, others call it a victory, because of their agenda of altering the genetic code of our food and crops on the planet. This is proof that the reputation and willpower of Monsanto (or Monsatan, dubbed by others) is starting to break down. - FUA

RENNES, France • A Monsanto research center in western France suffered heavy fire damage in a suspected arson attack early Wednesday morning, the official in charge of the site said.

The official, Jakob Witten, said police investigators "strongly suspect it was a crime as no electrical or other sources were found."

The fire was ignited from two different places at the site, where about 10 people work and which is specialized in corn research. The smell of gasoline lingered near the building, which had heavy damage in its reception hall and offices.

"No Monsanto sites in Europe have so far been the victim of fires of criminal origin, this is unprecedented violence," Witten said.

The Creve Coeur-based company is the frequent target of criticism in France over concerns about genetically modified crops it has developed.

The government said last month it would use a new European opt-out scheme to ensure a ban on the cultivation of GM crops in France remains in place
