Airport customs officials in south western China have seized 300 Bibles from four Americans, saying it's illegal to bring the books into the country.
US missionary Pat Klein, who runs a group called Vision Beyond Borders says customs officials confiscated the Chinese-language Bibles after the group flew into Kunming from Thailand yesterday.
The officials were not immediately available for comment and a police official in Kunming said he was not able to confirm the seizure.
Klein, a 46-year-old from Wyoming says he's brought more than 10,000 Bibles into China in the past 20 years, but has never had books seized before.
