California lawmaker probes National Guard spy claim
Tue Jun 28, 2005 08:58 PM ET
By Jim Christie

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A California lawmaker who controls funding for the state National Guard said on Tuesday he will hold hearings into whether a guard unit that analyzes terrorism threats spied on anti-war protesters. <snip>

State Sen. Joe Dunn said reports about the unit's monitoring of war protesters needed to be taken seriously and would be taken up during legislative hearings next month. <snip>

A Guard spokesman declined to comment on the hearings but said concerns about domestic spying stem from confusion over how the Guard monitored an anti-war rally.

In a story about the threat assessment unit, the San Jose Mercury News reported top Guard officials had tracked the rally on Mother's Day. <snip>
