Case ID #: 163G-L0-13032 (Pending) - L...-

Title: UNSUBS; GEORGE BROMLEY - VICTIM; FPC - VC (HOMICIDE)

Synopsis: Request for investigative assistance by Merseyside Police.

Details: Victim was murdered in the Liverpool, England, area on 11/19/97. The cause of death was multiple gunshot wounds.

The Merseyside Police have recovered a VHS video tape (as opposed to the European PAL or SECAM format) which shows in detail how to make a silencer/sound eliminator for various caliber weapons. At the beginning-of this video the narrator points out the legal position of the video in the United States, and notes that certain portions of the tape were made o~tside the jurisdiction of the United States.

The address shown on this video is Paladin Press, PO Box 1307, Boulder, Colorado 80306. There is another address contained within the video which advertises muzzle couplings for .22 caliber rifles and pistols. This address is DAQ, RR 1 Box 56B, Goodson, Missouri 85650.

The Merseyside Police have requested any information available regarding these two companies. They have also requested that appropriate company officials be contacted, and details obtained, regarding the sale of any company products to individuals residing within the Liverpoo~ area of England.

London notes that inasmuch as the introduction of firearms, gun parts, attachments, and accessories into the United Kingdom is illegal, it is doubtful that company officials will voluntarily provide details of sales to British residents. In this event, Merseyside officials will be advised to submit a Letter of Request for relevant documents under the US/UK MLAT Treaty. ( ~ 36~ l.O • 1'3>o> L ~ <--

George Bromley Enquiry

163G-L0-13032

Date: December 18, 1997

I spoke yesterday with the agent in our Boulder, Colorado, office who is handling your request regarding Paladin Press. He advised that officials from Paladin Press are unwilling to provide details of all their customers from the Merseyside area. However, they will search their customer database for specific names, and provide details of all transactions with regard to these specific customers.

The agent advised he has dealt with Paladin Press regarding similar requests in the past (e.g., the Oklahoma City bombing). They are generally cooperative, and will gladly search their records against a list of names provided by the police. However, they are uncomfortable about handing over geographical customer lists for fear that the information will be used against individuals who have no involvement with the matter being investigated.

If you can provide me with a list of suspects, or associates, who are suspected of dealing with Paladin Press, I'll gladly forward the names to our Boulder office. It is my understanding that Paladin Press sells books and videos, but not actual firearms accessories or attachments.

Paladin press is unwilling to provide a list of their shipments to or customers residing in the Liverpool, England area. Paladin Press takes the legal position that any carte blanche disclosure of such shipment or customer list would be a violation of its customers' privacy rights. However, if the FBI provides a list of specific names, addresses, etc., then Paladin Press is willing to query its databases and provide information regarding such.

I !initially told SAk lthat Paladin Press may be willing to provide the FBI wit s1mply the number of customers in the Liverpool, England area. However, after consulting the Paladin Press! !recanted, and told SAl t such disclosure would also violate Paladin Press' legal po icy.

Therefore, Paladin Press will only provide information to the FBI as a result of specific inquiries regarding names, addresses, etc.

As discussed in the referenced telcal, sAl lwill obtain a list of specific names, addresses, etc. from the Mersevside Police, which they desire Paladin Press to query. SA

Dear ~...I ____ ____.

December 30, 1997

The Merseyside Police· in England are currently investigating the November 19, 1997 homicide of George Bromley who suffered multiple gunshot wounds in Liverpool.

' ' Silencers, also known as "sound moderators" and "noise compensa· tors" were first invented to kill game

quietly. Soon the '"game" they were killing was human. Author J. David Truby, one of the world's leading experts on silencers, has, after years of painstaking research, dredged up innumerable previously unknown and shocking facts on these deadly accessories to terror and their use. He traces their development from their invention by Hiram Maxim in 1908 through their use by English and German snipers in WWI, American gangsters of the '30's, Skorzeny's elite Nazi commando units, OSS agents and resistance groups in WWII, and American snipers during the Korean conflict. Explosive interviews with ex-CIA agents, U.S. Army Special Forces veterans and Marine snipers provide a never-before-available insight into how these deadly tools are used throughout the world in carrying out missions of intrigue and assassination. As well as evaluating the use of silencers by both Free World Forces and VC assassins in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, Truby examines their use by Mafia "hit men", the West German Gehlen Intelligence Bureau, anti-Castro Cuban exiles, and

On 1/5/73, a conference was held with Colonel GOOSMAN and members of his staff namel

These individuals advised I I Office Management Division, Administrative Services Directorate, Jne Adjutant General should be contacted as he is involved iri the reclassification of classified materials and would be knowledgeable of instant documents in question.

A check on 1/5/73, at the office o£1 TAGO Building, 5520 Leesburg Pike, Falls Churc~h~,~v~~~r~g~~~n~~~a~,~ revealed he was on leave until after 1/11/73.

Investigation would have to determine how many editions of each document were printed, and in how many lots each document were printed. Thereafter, a copy would have to be located from each of the lots to be used as a known clocument for comparison with the documents in question.

Contact in this case has been maintained with b6 ~--~~~lwho just recently returned to work from an extended· b7c period of leave (thirty days).

~his case 'is summarized as ·follows:

I furnished the Phoenix division seven documents wh~ch can be divided into two groups. Group iffl consisted of FM 5":'31 (boo~y tr_aps)

~ TM 31-201-1 (Unconventional Warfare Devices and TechniquesIncendiaries), and TM 31-200-1 (Unconventional Warfare Devices and Techniques-References).· ·Group iff2 consisted of TM'5-280A, TM 23-200, and Army pamphlets #30-52 and 30-53.

Group #1 documents as well as a similar document not obtained (Improvised Munitions Handbook) were reportedly obtainable from the captioned companies. The allegations were· .they were classified, not available to the general public, and the companies involved were printing classified. material.

I IFD-302 dated 2/26/73, contains the results of investigation concerning these Group #1 type documents. Based on this FD-302, it would appear Denver and Los Angeles have no known violation and no further investigation is needed. b6

· Group #2 consists of four documents obtained at the Yufa Gun Show in Yuma, Ari~ona, sometime during February, 1972. - I FD-302 dated 8/22/73, contains the .. results .. of inv:estigatio_n concerni'Qg_ t;.h_ese Group iff2 documents. Only TM 23-200 remains cl~s~ified confiaencrar~-wniLe the other three are now declassified. Any further investigation rega~ding these Group #2 documents is being left to the discretion of Phoenix. ·

. · No further investigation outstanding in the Alexandria division. .

The "Confidential" classification is given to information the unauthorized disclosure of which could reasonably be expected to cause damage to the national security.

documents. Further, Alexandria advised that of the documents identified as Group #2 documents, only TM 23-200 remained classified and was leaving further investigation, relative to that document, to the discretion of Phoenix. Inasmuch as Los Angeles had received no information from other Offices that TM 23-200 had been published in Los Angeles, the case was administratively closed, since it had received no leads up to that time.

Referenced Phoenix letter indicates that Los Angeles is office or origin for TM 23-200. A review of the file reflects that document was purchased in Yuma, Arizona from an unidentified seller. Therefore, Los Angeles is not clear as to its office of origin status.

Los Angeles notes that in an airtel of 10/11/72, Phoenix enclosed for Los Angeles copies of covers of military manuals TM 31-201-1, TM 31-200-1, and FM 5-31,

-,and order blanks from INCO and Angriff P,ress, from which the above manuals had oeen purchased. I - 's noted the file contains copies of the above men ·oned manuals and a two-page order blank from INCO a. a copy of the first page of a :p~J;lbl.e..t entitled, "Th ·l hemistry of Powder and

J?,ffilosiyes by TENNEY L. DAVIS, Pn:i5. At '€fie Q.ottom orthat page ls the legend, "PRICE $5. ANGRIFF PRESS, BOX 2726, HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA, 90028~. Initially, Los Angeles- -felt this -was the "order blank" from Angriff, but based on referenced Phoenix letter of 10/17/73, now feels Phoenix may have inadvertently enclosed this page rather ~han the true order blank. In that case, it is possible the blank contained a reference to TM 23-200, although Phoenix did not indicate that to be the case.

In order to facilitate investigation and eliminate unnecessary investigation, Phoenix requested to advise the basis of office of origin status for Los Angeles for TM 23-200 and indicate which publisher, INCO or Angriff, is suspected of being the publisher of the document.

US Army Referral from FBI (File 65-HQ-74723)

FBI forwarded FOIA request and certain Army-originated records to the US Army Intelligence and security Command (INSCOM)

for Mandatory Declassification Review.

This section includes Army response letter and released records.

DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY UNITED STATES ARMY INT£LUGENCE AND SECURITY COMMAND

FREEDOM OF INFORMA TIONIPRIVACY OFFICE

REPLY TO ATTENTION OF:

Freedom of Information/ Privacy Office

FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, MARYLAND 20755-5995

0 7 APR 2011

This responds to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request of September 15, 2010, to the Federal Bureau oflnvestigation (FBI), for all FBI files pertaining to Paladin Press. On March 15, 2011, the FBI forwarded your request along with Army-originated records retrieved from their files, for a releasability determination. This correspondence was received in this office on March 18, 2011.

We have completed a mandatory declassification review of the referred records in accordance with Executive Order 13526. As a result of the review, it has been determined that the Armyoriginated records no longer warrant security classification protection and are partially releasable to you. A copy of the records are enclosed for your use.

Information has been sanitized that would result in an unwarranted invasion of the privacy rights of the individuals concerned. This information is exempt from public disclosure provisions of the FOIA pursuant to Title 5 U.S. Code 552 (b)(6).

The withholding of the information described above is a partial denial of your request. This denial is made on behalf of Major General Mary A. Legere, Commanding, U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command, who is the Initial Denial Authority for Army intelligence investigative and security records under the FOIA. You have the right to appeal this decision to the Secretary of the Army. If you wish to file an appeal, you should forward it to this office. Your appeal must be postmarked no later than 60 calendar days from the date of this letter. After the 60-day period, the case may be considered closed; however, such closure does not preclude you from filing litigation in the courts.

We are forwarding a copy of this letter to the FBI (FOIAIPA #1154700-000).

There are no assessable FOIA fees for processing this request.

-2-

If you have any questions regarding this action, contact this office at 1-866-548-5651, or email the INSCOM FOIA office at [email protected] and refer to case #2478F-ll.
