FBI probes fires at women's clinics in Georgia
By David Beasley
ATLANTA | Fri May 25, 2012 2:51pm EDT

(Reuters) - The FBI says it is investigating "intentional" fires that erupted this week at two Atlanta-area women's clinics, one of which performs abortions.

"FBI-Atlanta is seeking information regarding intentional fires," the agency said in a statement.

It said the first of the blazes occurred on Sunday morning after someone broke out the front window of a gynecological office and set a fire inside the building.

"An incendiary substance was present," the FBI said in its statement. "Laboratory results are pending."

Apparently there was a similar event in New Orleans -- someone broke into the offices for a group that works with poor women of color with HIV and set it on fire.

"There were patients inside the clinic when the fire erupted, but they were on a different floor of the building and no one was injured."
