FBI questions reporters about documents

The Sacramento Bee reports that three of its reporters have been questioned by the FBI, which wants to find out how they got sealed court documents about a federal probe into possible terrorist activity involving Lodi Muslims. The stories, which ran last July, were written by Dorothy Korber and Stephen Magagnini. FBI agents also questioned Denny Walsh, who has the federal courthouse beat in Sacramento. This investigation is reminiscent of last year’s unsuccessful attempt by the FBI to find out how the SF Chronicle obtained federal grand jury testimony in the BALCO steroid case.
