ATLANTA, May 25 (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."
On its website, the doctor's office told patients that "the office sustained severe damage."
On Wednesday, a second fire broke out at a suburban Atlanta abortion clinic, the FBI said.
Earlier this year, there were burglaries at the headquarters of the Georgia Obstetric and Gynecological Society and two OB/GYN offices in Atlanta, said Pat Cota, the society's executive director. Laptop computers were stolen, she said.
The doctor's office damaged in Sunday's fire was one of the two offices burglarized earlier in the year, Cota added.
