The Federal Bureau of Investigation announced this week it will open a new office in Washington D-C. The so-called "super squad" will be a clearinghouse for the bureau's terrorism investigations across the globe. The change is part of F-B-I Director Robert Mueller's (MULL' er) efforts to reorganize the agency. Mueller has been trying to concentrate operations in Washington after September eleventh's attacks and the Robert Hanssen spy scandal. The bureau is expected to hire more than 16-hundred new employees over the next year-and-a-half.
