Description

For the FBI and its partners, much has changed in the last decade. The terror attacks of 9/11 shifted the focus of national security, making prevention our collective mandate. Remarkable technological change also gave rise to online scams and cyber attacks. Gangs grew in size and strength, proliferating crime in some communities; and greed and corruption affected many Americans, along with banking and other institutions.The FBI, for its part, has emerged 10 years later a changed organization. More than ever, we are intelligence-driven and threat-focused, business-like in our operations and strategic in our use of resources. Our workforce has grown increasingly analytic and technologically savvy. We work more closely now than ever with our partners-not only across the country, but as a result of the growing globalization of crime and terror, across the world.You can get a telling glimpse into the FBI of today in this latest edition of The FBI Story, our annual collection of news and feature articles from the Bureau's public website. You can read a series of stories on our unprecedented efforts in the war zone of Afghanistan, where we have worked alongside the U.S. military and other partners to gather intelligence, conduct investigations, and mentor Afghan law enforcement. You can get an inside look at our growing cadre of intelligence analysts-how they operate and contribute daily to the FBI's mission. You can also get a glimpse into how we are addressing emerging scams like ATM skimming and enlisting the public's help in new ways to solve cold cases.Many of the year's most notable accomplishments are chronicled here as well-major cyber operations, large-scale health care fraud and gang takedowns, and historic Mafia busts. And most notably, in less than two months, two of the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives were removed from the list. On May 1, Osama bin Laden was killed by U.S. forces, not only closing a chapter in the 9/11 terror attacks but yielding valuable new intelligence in the global effort to end violent extremism. And on June 23, notorious Boston mobster James 'Whitey' Bulger was captured by FBI agents in California following a far-reaching public information campaign.
