Anarchists say firebomb in Ottawa related to Vancouver Olympics

Anarchists who claim to have firebombed a bank in Ottawa are vowing to take their protests to the G8 and G20 summits to be held in Ontario next month.
Ottawa police are investigating a fire at a Royal Bank branch in the Glebe section of the downtown early Tuesday morning.
Witnesses have said three to four males were seen running from the scene and leaving the area in an SUV shortly before the fire was reported at 3:30 a.m.
The anarchists claim they set the fire to a Royal branch because the bank was a sponsor of the Vancouver Olympics which was held "on stolen indigenous land."
On the website ottawa.indymedia.org the group posts a short video of the bank on fire and goes on to claim that the bank and Canadian government are displacing the poor and aboriginals.

The group says they will be in Huntsville, Ont., and Toronto during the summits in June, where "leaders and bankers are meeting ...to make decisions that will further their policies of exploitation of people and the environment."
