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.
