Version 0 of 1. Related: Alleged arsons at Planned Parenthood clinics reported in wake of 'sting' videos Fire investigators in Washington state have determined that an early morning blaze at a Planned Parenthood clinic was arson. Pullman Fire Department investigator Chris Wehrung said Friday afternoon that the cause was arson, but a joint task force was still investigating and he declined to release other details. The pre-dawn fire heavily damaged a clinic in the college town of Pullman. Planned Parenthood spokeswoman Tanya Riordan told The Spokesman-Review that the fire might keep the clinic closed for a month or more. The FBI and other federal agencies are involved because of the history of anti-abortion activists targeting health care providers offering abortion services. |
