The AFP requested the fingerprints of two journalists involved in the reporting of Australian special forces allegedly carrying out unlawful killings in Afghanistan.
ABC journalists Dan Oakes and Sam Clarke received a letter from the AFP on April 1, two months prior to the Federal police raids on the Sydney headquarters.
The letter specifically stated both Oakes and Clarke were suspects in relation to three offences, and requested their consent to a forensic procedure copying their finger and palm prints.
