The Blade, pair of journalists who were held file FBI complaints

The Blade and two of its journalists, who were detained Friday by military security outside the General Dynamics Lima tank plant and whose cameras were confiscated, filed complaints Tuesday with the Federal Bureau of Investigation

They were leaving when they were stopped by police. They were detained for at least an hour, Mr. Linkhorn said.

Through the intervention of U.S. Sen. Rob Portman (R., Ohio), a Blade photographer retrieved the cameras from the plant about 8:30 p.m. Friday from a police commander.

But upon examining the cameras, she found they didn’t have any of the photos of the exterior of the tank plant that Ms. Fraser had shot. Photos that she shot at another facility in the area also were deleted.
