FBI Ordered to Preserve Evidence In Judi Bari Bombing Case 
-----------------------------------------------------------



A U.S. federal judge in California has ordered the FBI to preserve
evidence in a 1990 car bombing that nearly killed two members of the
environmental group, Earth First! The FBI was planning to destroy all
evidence in the case, even though agents had never determined who
carried out the attempted assassination of environmental activists Judi
Bari and Darryl Cherney. The FBI initially arrested the activists for
building the bombs themselves, but the pair later sued the FBI and won
more than $4 million in damages.
