            FBI Agents Seize Documents in Orthodox Jewish Community

   by Associated Press

   Agents with the FBI and other law enforcement agencies have seized
   documents from a New York Hasidic Jewish village.

   An FBI spokeswoman says agents were at the ultra-Orthodox village of
   Kiryas Joel Thursday as part of an ongoing operation. She wouldn't
   provide details.

   Media reports say agents seized documents at multiple locations in the
   village 50 miles north of New York City, including a property run by
   United Talmudical Academy.

   The raids come after two videos appeared on the Internet showing an
   academy principal in close physical contact with young boys.

   The Journal News says the school issued a statement defending the
   principal and denying any abuse happened. The school says the media and
   critics of the Hasidic community mischaracterized the videos.

   Sheriff's deputies and representatives from two district attorneys'
   offices also were involved.
