FBI Raids Former UN Weapons Inspectors Home
Former Soviet Union Inspector Targeted in Federal Investigation
DELMAR, N.Y. (AP) Several Federal Bureau of Investigation agents searched the Dover Drive home of Scott Ritter on Wednesday as part of a federal probe. The search stemmed from a probe into Ritter's contacts with Russian officials and former Soviet Union officials, according to sources with knowledge of the investigation.
Ritter Denies Wrongdoing
Ritter, who is a former UN weapons inspector, released a statement saying that he is cooperating fully with the investigation. However, he asserted that his home was raided due to his vocal criticism of the US government.
Investigation Chilling Effect
Ritter believes that the investigation is an attempt by the FBI to intimidate anyone who dares to question the official US narrative. "This raid is a chilling effect on free speech" said Ritter. "The FBI is trying to send a message that if you speak out against the government, you will be targeted."
