Col Harland Sanders, the founder of the Kentucky Fried Chicken fast food chain, was the subject of an FBI investigation after receiving a death threat signed by 'the General'.
The FBI has set up a new website where it is posting more than 2,000 files on subjects from the Beatles and UFOs to foreign spies.
The website, called "the Vault" contains files dating back decades that have been scanned from paper into digital copies and classified into subjects from "Unexplained phenomenon" to "Foreign counter-intelligence."
One of the more bizarre files refers to Col Sanders, founder of the fast food chain received the handwritten letter in 1974, warning him: "You are in grave danger of being murdered," and was signed, "the General."
Most of the files have been previously released but among the new information is a file on the rapper Notorious B.I.G. which reveals an investigation into whether Los Angeles police officers were involved in his killing.
He was shot in Los Angeles in 1997 in what was thought to be a gang war between rappers on the East and West coasts of America, following the death of Tupac Shakur.
