Papers shed light on investigation of anti-war activists
FBI raids: They were left behind by federal agents
AMY FORLITI; The Associated Press | • Published May 19, 2011

MINNEAPOLIS – Documents federal agents left behind during a September raid of an anti-war activist’s home shed some light on the evolution of an investigation into apparent connections between local activists and radical groups in Colombia and the Middle East.

One document says the case was initially based on activities of two local activists – including their travels to terrorist-controlled areas of Colombia – then expanded to include 16 more people in six states accused of providing material support to terrorists in Colombia or Palestinian territories.

Since September, 23 people in Minneapolis, Chicago and Grand Rapids, Mich., have been subpoenaed to appear before a grand jury in Illinois. Authorities haven’t revealed the targets of the investigation or its exact nature, other than to say it involves activities concerning the material support of terrorism.

The documents were found April 30 at the Minneapolis home of longtime-time anti-war activist Mick Kelly and given to The Associated Press this week. Kelly’s home was among those raided by the FBI in September.

2. FBI agents raided their house, then left FBI documents behind?
I read the two articles on this and cannot follow what they are saying.

3. Grand Rapids' most famous terrorist is Erik Prince.
FBI won't touch him, he's for war and every last dollar it brings him. The FEDs seem to only go after peaceniks, what they consider terrorists today used to be the commies or hippies who hadn't fallen for the propaganda and mind control.

Hey, Mueller! What's the scoop on this guy going to where the money is?
