Posted by NEWS on 10/7/2004, 19:55:05 An FBI team has been reviewing the requirements of Saudi intelligence and security agencies, U.S. officials said. The team has been touring several Saudi facilities and assessing the strengths of the kingdom's security and intelligence community. Over the next year, officials said, the FBI would host an unspecified number of members of the Saudi intelligence community. They said the Saudis would be invited as part of a U.S. effort to improve the law enforcement effort of Islamic allies of the United States. "We need to bring people from other countries to work with us here jointly, whether it be from Indonesia or Pakistan or Saudi Arabia or elsewhere," FBI director Robert Mueller told the Council on Foreign Relations on June 22. "U.S. law enforcement will have to be aligned with our counterparts overseas, much like our military forces are aligned with their counterparts overseas."
