Sad to say, stuff like this happens all of the time. What makes this case unusual, the newspaper in question, Reklama, is a Russian-language publication.
From the Chicago Tribune, free registration required.
The FBI is investigating complaints that a Russian-language newspaper based in Northbrook received threatening mail and phone calls in response to its pro-Israel editorials.
Employees at Reklama, a weekly publication, reported to Northbrook police that they received a threatening postcard Aug. 25, said FBI spokesman Ross Rice. The police faxed a copy of the postcard to federal officials, he said.
Officials confirmed that the postcard contained a picture of rebels with rocket launchers and letters clipped from magazines that spell out a message in Farsi, which is spoken in Iran and parts of Afghanistan.
