Irish police are searching for 鈥渁 significant number of people鈥� who dug up
and destroyed the country鈥檚 first genetically engineered crop. The vandalised
field in County Carlow contained sugar beet engineered by the agrochemicals
multinational Monsanto to carry a gene for resistance to its herbicide Roundup.
A group calling itself the Gaelic Earth Liberation Front has claimed
responsibility. A Monsanto spokesman says the company will carry on with the
project despite the damage.
