I wonder if the FBI is back to doing the dirty tricks they did under Hoover...

People's Weekly World Newspaper, 11/26/03 09:37 PHILADELPHIA – On Nov. 19 the office of the International Concerned Family and Friends of Mumia Abu-Jamal (ICFFMAJ) here was broken into by burglars. A spokesman for the ICFFMAJ says it was “an apparent political burglary.” The political burglars took the group’s computers, files and databases, but no other items of monetary value were taken.
A similar break-in at the same ICFFMAJ office occurred in June 2000, when lists of financial donors were stolen but nothing else.
Mumia Abu-Jamal, a progressive African American journalist, has been in prison for over 20 years, most of that time on death row. His lawyers and supporters say he was wrongfully convicted in 1982 for the 1981 murder of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner.
From the age of 15, when he was the communications secretary for the Philadelphia branch of the Black Panther Party, Abu-Jamal was a target of the FBI’s antidemocratic COINTELPRO program. He has also been the target of right-wing, racist police harassment.
