| U.S. intelligence documents on Nelson Mandela made public Posted: 18 Jul 2018 01:31 PM PDT ![U.S. intelligence documents on Nelson Mandela made public]( "U.S. intelligence documents on Nelson Mandela made public") Thousands of pages of U.S. intelligence documents on Nelson Mandela were made public on Wednesday, revealing that Washington continued to monitor the South African anti-apartheid hero as a potential Communist menace even after he was released from prison, a group that sued to obtain the papers said. The Washington-based group Property of the People released the papers to mark the 100th anniversary of Mandela's birth. "The documents reveal that, just as it did in the 1950s and 60s with Martin Luther King Jr and the civil rights movement, the FBI aggressively investigated the U.S. and South African anti-apartheid movements as Communist plots imperiling American security," the group's president Ryan Shapiro said in a statement.
