[Mandatum]

I don't believe the leaked document indicated government agents or personnel planned to kill leaders via suppressed sniper fire. You're talking about page 61 of this document I assume? http://www.justiceonline.org/fbi_files_ows

No, I am not referring to that document specifically, but I am referring to the same incident and subsequent lawsuits over the issue. Yes they really were planning to do that. See https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3axduuybL0jNUUtUWxUenFzMGM...

Your document is ambiguous, however the others are not. Please try not to cherry pick.

That document doesn't say that the FBI was trying to assassinate the Occupy Houston leaders. It says the FBI uncovered some other party's plot (apparently, organized crime) to do that. Ryan Shapiro sued to find who the snipers were but was eventually denied. http://www.courthousenews.com/2015/02/06/fbi-gets-ok-on-alle...

What would be the reasons for denying such a request? Must be either a group who is still under investigation, or a group of LEO's, right?

See the article linked at the end of my previous post:

> The FBI was right to withhold records about an alleged murder plot targeting the leaders of Occupy Houston, to protect its informants, a federal judge ruled.

So I'm assuming "LES" stands for Law Enforcement Services and the blocked area then points to which branch of law enforcement planned to do this?

LES = Law Enforcement Sensitive
