FBI Seizes Files of Pro-Israel Group

The FBI expanded its counterintelligence investigation of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee yesterday, seizing computer files at the lobbying group's Washington offices and serving grand jury subpoenas on four staff members, according to AIPAC and FBI officials.

The FBI previously obtained computer files from AIPAC in connection with a probe of a Defense Department analyst, Lawrence A. Franklin, suspected of providing classified information to the group. Authorities are also investigating whether the information, including a draft directive on U.S. policies toward Iran, was then passed on to Israel, sources have said.
