Note in bin Laden book sparks FBI inquiry

 

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

 

DEMING -- The FBI would like to find a person who checked out a library book about Osama bin Laden. That's because of what someone wrote in the margin of the book. The book is titled "Bin Laden: The Man Who Declared War on America."

 

 

The handwritten note in the margin is a quote from bin Laden saying, "Hostility toward America is a religious duty, and we hope to be rewarded by god."

 

 

A citizen reported the comment to the FBI, which served the library district in Whatcom County with a subpoena demanding names and addresses of everyone who checked out the book. But the lawyer for the library, Deborah Garrett, filed a motion to quash the subpoena.

 

 

The U.S. Attorney's Office withdrew the subpoena before a hearing, but it could be filed again.
