Subject: FBI HRT in Iraq and Afghanistan?
GOP    8/3/2007 2:49:09 AM
Whatsup guys? I have read in several books that FBI HRT has been to Iraq and A'stan and have served with several US SOF units, the most notable being CAG. Do these guys basically observe CAG or do they actually put guns in the fight? Typically, what would they be observing? CAG's CQB techniques? Infil/Exfil techniques? Any idea how long of a tour they serve? Also, how common is it for Law enforcement special tactics units to train with military SOF units?

I have a friend, a former registered machine gun dealer and lawyer from the midwest US, who has spent the greater part of his life in "Pakistan" since 9-11 as an FBI agent.  The organization is definitely present over there.  Interesting thing is that my bud's salient skill is mandarin and not pashtun.

Stay out of things you know nothing about. FBI HRT does a heck of alot more than sit in an office and sort crimes out. They are a fully functioning CT unit, on par with Tier 1 units law enforcement units like GSG-9, etc. So please, if you have no knowledge of what you talk about, then don't post anything. You are heading toward getting banned.

Some quotes: Im not trying to criticize you or anything. but you shouldnt be talking about the location of Intelligence cells online. for one thing the "enemy" could read it, and another thing is that youre info could be completely false.   thats just my opinion,   i dont think the FBI should have anything to do with being IN Iraq or Afganistan. they should be in the U.S. and have SF go in for Reconnaisance.(SEALs)  

 

"Military action and law enforcement and intelligence activities in Afghanistan continue to uncover documents and information about Al-Qaeda. This information comes to the United States for further processing and analysis by the combined expertise of several agencies. The results are then disseminated and acted upon." - Dale L. Watson, FBI Executive Assistant Director.

 
"One of the new steps we're taking is the creation of the National Security Service within the FBI, to more completely integrate the Bureau's work with the intelligence community. The purpose of this change is to strengthen the FBI, so it not only investigates terrorist crimes after they happen, but the FBI can be more capable to stop the terrorist acts before they happen. The FBI is in the fight. The FBI has deployed its personnel across the world, in Iraq and Afghanistan and other fronts in the war on terror. FBI agents are questioning captured terrorists and uncovering information that will help prevent new attacks on our homeland." - President George W. Bush

 

The FBI varies its presence according to requirements in its hunt for al-Qaeda suspects, with the total number deployed anywhere between 50 and 100. It has at least three active cells, in Peshawar, on the border of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), where many al-Qaeda are known to hide, in the volatile port city of Karachi and in the capital Islamabad. - Asia Times, October 4, 2003

I think it is highly unlikely that the FBI's HRT is involved in Iraq or Afghanistan.  While they are certainly by all accounts a world class CT unit, the mission in both theaters doesn't really fit with their reason for being.  I have heard from a reliable family source with access to members of the FBI that the HRT is beginning to experiment with SDV's to assist in the war on drugs in the Caribbean theater.  YES the same SDVs used by the SEALS.

I have read in several books
Can you name those books?  It's not that I'm doubting your word, it's just always nice to know where stuff like this is coming from.
