From Times Wire Reports

The FBI is seeking two men for questioning in the sniper slaying of a New York doctor who performed abortions. Dr. Barnett Slepian was struck by a bullet fired into his Amherst, N.Y., home Oct. 23. FBI Special Agent Paul Moskal in Buffalo, N.Y., said the agency had issued a nationwide bulletin to police alerting them to look for the two men, whom he did not identify. Moskal said the men were not suspects and did not believe they were witnesses. The FBI earlier this month named anti-abortion extremist James Kopp, 44, as a material witness and issued a warrant for his arrest. The Amherst Police Department said the FBI report indicates a connection between the two men and Kopp.
