The late Wichita abortion provider George Tiller faced numerous death threats, according to FBI documents released earlier this week to The Associated Press. Of note: Tiller received a letter in 1999 claiming that a militant anti-abortion group had paid a woman $25,000 to kill him.

The feds investigated “numerous death threats” sent to the doctor, who was assassinated during a church service in May 2009 by Scott Roeder. The threats detailed in the 287 pages of “heavily redacted” documents — including the $25,000 hit — were not found to be credible.
