Political web site sues FBI in San Francisco over alleged surveillance

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- A political Web site that says it was the target of FBI surveillance has filed a lawsuit in San Francisco seeking documents connected with the alleged probe.

Antiwar.com filed the federal lawsuit in San Francisco on Tuesday, saying the FBI has refused to turn over documents requested under the Freedom of Information Act. The Web site and its editors say they discovered they were being monitored by the FBI when a blogger received documents from the agency under a separate FOIA request.

Those documents allegedly mentioned Antiwar.com as an investigative target in 2004.

The FBI didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
