Clinic fire deemed arson

Federal investigators have found evidence that Sunday morning's fire at an Olympia clinic where abortions are performed was started intentionally, and they now are searching for the culprit.

They have a few suspects, but none is in custody, Olympia Fire Capt. Kate McDonald said.

The person or persons responsible so far have not been linked to any organization that opposes abortion, said Scott Thomasson, a special agent with the Seattle office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, which is investigating the arson.
...
The arson is a federal crime, however, because the Eastside Women's Health Clinic is a federally funded health care center, the ATF agent said. The arson does not constitute an act of domestic terrorism, and the FBI, which was investigating the crime Sunday, is no longer involved, Thomasson said.
