FBI lifts Beatle John Lennon's prints
A SET of John Lennon's fingerprints being auctioned for at least $100,000 (£63,000) has been seized by the FBI in Manhattan.
The 1976 signed application for the Beatle's US citizenship was one of 850 celebrity items in an online sale themed around his 70th birthday on Saturday.
"We're investigating how the item came to be in a private collection," FBI spokesman James Margolin said.
"It is apparently a government document and would not normally be in the commercial stream."
