Zero Dark Thirty: Senate Committee Reviews CIA Contact -- BBC

The US Senate Intelligence Committee has demanded more information about contacts between the CIA and the makers of Oscar favourite Zero Dark Thirty.

Kathryn Bigelow's film is a dramatised account of the hunt for Osama Bin Laden and the 2011 mission which killed him.

In a letter to Acting CIA Director Michael Morell, three senators said the film-makers could have been misled by information provided by the CIA.

The film has been nominated for four Golden Globes.

The US release of the film was subsequently put back until after November's election.
