Fbi To Set Up Sydney Base

NSW Premier, Morris Iemma, will announce the FBI’s appointment of a legal attache as part of counter-terrorism co-operation measures that the Police Minister, Carl Scully, cooked up after visiting the US in August. The FBI attaché will operate from the US consulate, would link Australian and US law enforcement bodies and provide support to NSW agencies. “Global terrorism does not respect international boundaries, and we want our officers to learn from the best,” Mr Iemma said. “The level of co-operation and access we have secured with the world’s pre-eminent law enforcement bodies is a huge advantage for the people of NSW.”
