And From The Moment That We Realized It Was A Terrorist Attack, There Isn't An Agent Or A Support Person In The Fbi That Wasn't Committed To Bringing To Justice Those Who Were Responsible For This.

In The United States, It's The Mandate Of The Fbi To Gather Information Relating To Terrorism, Go Out And Collect It, To Do The Interviews, To Do The Investigative Work.
