Burglaries Costa Rica

The FBI acknowledged Wednesday that it had received documents taken from the home of a reporter who worked for CBS-TV in Costa Rica, but said agents had no indication at the time that the material was stolen. The files belonged to Tony Avirgan, a free-lance cameraman who was investigating a political bombing in Nicaragua that killed eight people. Avirgan later filed suit here against top U.S. and Contra officials he linked to the incident.
