FBI to release secret Michael Jackson dossier

London: The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is set to release its secret dossier on Michael Jackson, containing murky details of the King of Pop`s life including classified information about the child molestation allegations levelled against him. Just over half of the 679-page file on Jackson will remain secret and the rest will be made accessible to the public within the next two days, reported Daily Mail online.

The agency plans to declassify 333 pages of the bulky file detailing threats and extortion attempts made against the late superstar. The documents will also contain information about the child molestation investigations into Jackson in 1993 and 2004. The documents will not shed any new light on the `Thriller` hitmaker`s sudden death in June at the age of 50 or on the probe into the possible role of his personal physician, Dr Conrad Murray, in the tragedy. Jackson, named by MTV today as 2009`s News Man of the Year, was not the only pop star to have his own FBI file. The agency gathered more than 300 pages of information about John Lennon between 1971 and 1972, which later became material for a film and a book called `Gimme Some Truth: The John Lennon FBI Files.` The FBI also compiled 650 pages on Elvis Presley, 89 on Doors singer Jim Morrison, 24 on the Motown Records label and four pages on `Grateful Dead` star Jerry Garcia.
