FBI Searches Office of Pro-Israel Lobbying Group in Probe of Classified Iran Material

WASHINGTON (AP) - FBI agents searched files and served subpoenas Wednesday at the offices of the major pro-Israel lobbying organization as part of an investigation into whether Israel improperly obtained classified U.S. information on Iran.

The search at the offices of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee was disclosed in a statement by the organization, which repeated it is cooperating "in order to get these false and baseless allegations put to rest fully and swiftly."

"As we have said from the beginning, AIPAC has done nothing wrong," the statement said.

The FBI previously searched AIPAC's offices on Aug. 27.

Agents also have interviewed two AIPAC employees about whether a Defense Department analyst, Larry Franklin, gave them classified information that would up with Israel. Franklin works on Iran and Middle East issues in the office of policy undersecretary Douglas Feith. Franklin has not commented on the probe and has not been charged.
