LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- As it turns out, Colonel Harland Sanders wasn't the only one keeping secrets.

Newly released documents from the 1970s reveal the FBI investigated a death threat against the KFC founder and pitchman, creator of the secret recipe for the chain's fried chicken.

The warning came from someone identified as "The General."
